Running for President

[TomC]

I'd like to poach afleitch as my VP candidate if he wouldn't mind.

Afleitch is currently Keystone Phil's running mate.

Oh, good luck, btw

Good luck, Hugh!

Oh, and I don't know if afleitch would want to or not, but I don't recall any law prohibiting two candidates from having the same running mate.

I like both afleitch and Hugh and would love to see that ticket, but if a veep candidate hedges his bets by agreeing to be on two tickets, I would be less enthusiastic.

I think *all* Atlasians should run for president in combination with *all* other Atlasians as their running mates. Give the people a choice!

Hell yeah! And ^this^ from the guy who'll count the votes.
