Soxy Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 The question is: how much worse can he do than most of the professional candidates will? For serial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 CNN on whether Stephen can actually get on the ballot. The conclusion: For the R's, yes if he spends the money, for the D's, maybe, it's actually a bit tricky as their rules require him to be actively campaigning for the nomination.

Texsox Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 It seems to me that this state by state process does not serve much value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The candidacy itself has little value. It is merely further deterioration of political and intellectual discourse. Oh, he rails against it and satirizes it, to be sure, but he's no better than those other men who do the same he does for serious. And I've always found it deplorable that people get their news from The Daily Show or Colbert, or that they get their Cues, just as I find it disturbing that people "learn" from Rush Limbaugh and Shrill O'Lielly.

Texsox Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 There is some value in his candidacy. The other night he was discussing campaign laws and how he can't use colbertnation.com he has to use a different one. Btw checkout colbert08.com If it sparks some interest, and a few more people vote, that's a good thing. It is almost exactly like when soxtalk attempted a serious election, with a series of debates and hopefully thought evoking speeches. Instead, someone decided to fore go that process and resort to spamming for votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't win because I "spammed for votes" (I don't consider it spam: attempts to de-alienate SoxTalk's voters aren't "spam"). I won because I was the only non-establishment candidate. I won because I promised youth, vigor and change. I won because I was right for SoxTalk. That is why I am the President, like every President -- I won on my own merits!

Gregory Pratt Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 What does it say about the other candidates that a plurality of The People would rather vote for the man who refuses to address the issues over those who are "debating" in full? Clearly people thought that by not speaking, I was saying enough to offset what the others were saying. Maybe the lesson is that these candidates should keep their mouths shut and smile? That election was, and is, a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Oh, and I'm not denying that I distributed campaign literature and sought to "Get Out The Vote!" and mobilize SoxTalk's large percentage of non-voters, but that is NOT why I won. I won because people chose to vote for me and hoisted me onto their triumphant shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
