NorthSideSox72 Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 5, 2006 -> 04:34 PM) I think we should do an Election with VPs.... that would be fun. Let's do that. The winner of this election is Prez, then we'll put the other 4 in for a VP vote. Any objections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To facilitate that, I'd step aside and let someone else take on Rex. We already have a second place, I think running as a ticket would be interesting.

And Tex, its still early - you might not finish in the top 2 you know... Should I start a new poll about this? Whether we want a second vote for Veep, or second vote with Veep candidates like a primary-regular system, or just end it after this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, unless I am misreading the position statements, Rex and I are pretty similar, so taking one of the other candidates may make for a better debate and election.

Anymore than organizing this thing and running? or not being around most of the year and running? It was my impression that this first vote was for the top two vote getters anyway. I think the easy move is to say the top two getters get to pick a VP candidate and give three reasons why they are different than the other candidate. vote and then crown him with many crowns.

Texsox Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I would like to participate in the strategy making of a two party election. If it is as a candidate, that's fine, if we think that Rex versus someone else would be more interesting or entertaining, which is what this is, then I will step aside.

I think there should be three parties because if there is an election next year, I will launch my own party. (Of course I have to get a certain percentage of votes to be on the ballot.)
