Texsox Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Can we form a ticket before posting and run as a Pres/Veep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 14, 2006 -> 08:32 AM) Can we form a ticket before posting and run as a Pres/Veep? Good question. The answer is no. I'd like to have a sort of first and second place thing going on here, it makes it more interesting. Plus I like the idea that we might end up with a P and VP that are very different politically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to ask Nuke if he wanted to form a ticket. We'd have kicked everyone's ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have kicked everyone's ass. Its a good idea, but, I would like to see everyone take their shot individually in this case. That will get more people involved in the discussions. Otherwise the Veeps can just hang around. But I have to say, a Tex/Nuke ticket would definitely be... interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if we just want a sweet pork barrel job? Like Secretary of Fashion and Shoes? Or Education? Do we have to run for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Secretary of Fashion and Shoes? Or Education? Do we have to run for that? Well, I suppose that whomever wins the election can be in a position to give you that gig. Some candidates may even go around enticing the voting/posting public with offers of that sort. For example, maybe a candidate wants your vote, and you say you'll give it to them if they put a line in their sig that says "Soxy is da bomb" in like 64-size font. Let the politicking begin.

knightni Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Seems awful clique-y and dividing to me. No one wants to know my politics, it'll color their view of my posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Nice... this could be fun... Listen, I have finals and stuff to get through, but I want to participate.

Listen, I have finals and stuff to get through, but I want to participate. What's the time range (limit) that you want to accept entries for this? Let's say the end of next week, maybe Monday. We'll go with 11/27 for the platforms. I'll update the main thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I am declaring early. I'll allow the other candidates to use their fancy polling groups to decide what they believe in. I know where I stand and don't need three days to figure that out. Haven't we had enough representatives that can't make a decision without running to outside consultants and pollsters?

Balta1701 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I think I need to take some time to talk things over with my family. (For those who don't Habla Presidential Candidate: this translates loosely as spend the next 6 months doing fundraisers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make your opening platform statement here. I placed the platform in that thread and came here to discuss. As per your instructions.

NorthSideSox72 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 I've gotta say, I am impressed with some of the things I've seen so far. Great platform statements, PA's personal thread... 2 people even have new Sigs for the election. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox4lifeinPA Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I find it interesting that even though there seems to be 2 repubs, 2 independents and 2 democrats so far.... all of the political views are pretty much even. the debates should be interesting too.
