Wildcard changed his vote and now CheeseWhiz's vote doesn't matter.  Sorry about that LiberalPA.

lol

Yeah now you have to give me credit for saving the day

Wildcard Saves The Day

Thanks to Wildcard changing his vote in the re-districting selection process to first preference Map 5, i was able to take back the edits i had to make to fix a mistake in my previous article. Because he helped me keep my original writing he officially had saved the day.

NOTE: please do not put this in the archives. attention to my writers: whenever you dont want an article put in thearchives, use the fake report banner.

[Speed of Sound]

Uhhhh... I was kidding lol.... Thanks though.

i know. thats why i chose this banner.

[Speed of Sound]

Great paper you got going here.

thank you

Northeast race to be fair and square[/u]

Kevin and Senator Colin Wixted have both agreed to a clean campaign. This is only two candidates, however, and since we are really far from the election, im sure more will declare. Despite it being so early, a poll has been taken showing that the race is close and that the votes for "other" are rather high, proving that there is room for at least one more.  We will have interviews with both candidates (and hopefully with anyone else that declares) later in the election cycle. This one is obviously way too early to call, but its definetly not going to be a landslide. However it turns out, at least there will be no mud slinging from the candidates.

I am stepping down from my reporting duties in the Atlasian Messenger. However, i will continue to own the paper, and do Letters to the editor Wednesday.

[Speed of Sound]

if he focuses his campaign, NOTA could win in a LiberalPA v. Al race.

[Speed of Sound]

ok, since i dont many (i actually dont get any) letters to the editor, instead of doing letters to the editor Wednesday, im just to review each letter and release it immedeatly. (i know i spelled it wrong.)

[Speed of Sound]

Letter To The Editor:

"Dear Editor,

Whats it like being editor?

Sincerely,

King"

Answer: Well, its easy. really, really easy.

[Speed of Sound]

I wonder why this LiberalPA guy got his letter in but I sent mine about six times and didn't make it. Hmmmmmmm....maybe he knows that guy I'm running against? Na...it can't be...

PD leads D6 Senate Race[/u]

Thats right, PD leads the race according to a recent poll with approx. 25%, with Ilikeverin holding about 12%, and Max Power about 6%, while 44% are still skeptics of District 6. This comes as a major surprise since Ilikeverin was supposedly  frontrunner in the race. The Atlasian Messenger is getting news that another candidate is thinking about joining the race. We will keep you updated.

Surprise Candidate announces in D6; Other candidates scramble to take away attention form new comer.[/u]

Former Atlasian Libertarian 'activist' Mr. Milk_and_cereal has returned to join the D6 race. Worried that he might be a powerful candidate, SoFA Ilikeverin has attended a $478.98 plate fundraiser tonight, inhopes that it would get alot of media attention. Rumors are that Mr. Reese will be running in a marathon in the biggest city in D6, New Dublin, tomorrow. Earlier today he said, "I've been training for this for a while now. I hope this proves to the great people of District 6 that I am a dedicated person." Mr.PD will be resting next, saying that he can't miss the Dharma and Greg 7 day marathon next week.

Here are some campaign buttons that were not sent to us by the candidates for the D6 race:

                             Atlasian Messenger Op-Ed

D4 special election gets personal

As the voting opened at 12:00 EST Friday morning, the fighting continued between Ebowed, Harry, Josh22, and HTMLDon. Things dont seem to be slowing, in fact they may be heating up. this 'vendetta' between eachother has lasted all week. the only candidate to keep quiet in the fierce debate is Write-In Candidate Ben Meyers (ACA) of Florida, but name recogniton and experience seem to be the anchors that are dragging the Meyers campaign at a slow pace. Harry has a good lead now, but i think if this keeps up, NOTA might be headed to Capital Hill.

We'll keep you updated on the special election all weekend.

This news article / editorial is factually inaccurate.

As the voting opened at 12:00 EST Friday morning, the fighting continued between Ebowed, Harry, Josh22, and HTMLDon.

Harry has not been online since Don began spreading lies about him, so he is not involved in the "fighting."

You must be logged in to read this quote.

The vendetta would be more accurately described as one I have against Don; not one Harry has against Don.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

That's because he just got back from vacation.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Or maybe people just prefer Harry.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

The race will either go to Ben or Harry; Don seems to have thrown his chance out by voting against himself.

hhhmm...you sure sont like when people have opinions' other than yours, do you Ebowed? notice at the top of the article it says "Op-Ed", that means i can say whatever i feel like saying.

[Speed of Sound]

I was not disputing the opinions; I was disputing the factual inaccuracies.

1. not all of the things you quoted were factual inaccuricies

2.

notice at the top of the article it says "Op-Ed", that means i can say whatever i feel like saying.

[Speed of Sound]

Look at the five points I raised.  The only one that could be interpreted as an opinion is Statement 4.  Statement 5 is a prediction; Statements 1,2, and 3 are factual corrections.  If you write an editiorial, you should not only be prepared to have your opinions challenged, but you should write one that doesn't have factual inaccuracies disguised as opinions.

in which case my statement that not all of your statements were fact is true.

Plus:

notice at the top of the article it says "Op-Ed", that means i can say whatever i feel like saying.

[Speed of Sound]

Yes, you are entitled to say whatever you want to say, but that's a horrible defense of factual inaccuracies.

ill give you that Ebowed, but remember, im the media, i dont need to be correct, especially not during 'Op-Ed' time.

[Speed of Sound]

LiberalPA, it remains the responsibility of the media to be factually accurate, even in op-eds.  Don't want to turn out like Fox News, do you?

or do i........hhhhmmmmm.......no,definetly not.

Ilikeverin Rallies His 'Troops' in District 6

A new poll shows PD is losing speed to Ilikeverin, and that now only 1/3 of Atlasians don't believe District 6 exists, down from the original 45%. Max Power has also jumped up a few precentage points, while M&C suprisingly holds almost 0% of the vote. The M&C squad did manage to get a float in the Writingville, 2nd largest city in D6, Parade. Rumors are that Atlasian Messenger CEO liberalPA will begin a petition to get the D6 Ofiicial voting booth in the voting booth subfolder later today.

Fmr. Senator Naso looking into October presidential run[/u][/size]

Returning to Atlasian politics just recently, Mr. Naso has announced that he is considering a run for president in October while D2 Sen. candidate KeystonePhil seems a bit more certain than that saying yesterday that Mike Naso is the first man 'officially' in the October race, even saying that Naso For President signs were found in the back of the Fmr Senator's (Naso) car.

While some believe his past and his recent inactivity will hurt him, he still seems to hold a good rep. with some Atlasians. We hope to have an interview with Mr. Naso soon.

Siege40 For President bumperstickers are already all over his homestate of vermont. The President has reportedly made quite a few thousand dollars on signs and bumperstickers alone this early in the campaign.

Despite the race being so far away, the proof is clear that we have one Hell of a race ahead of us. We'll keep you posted on all the new throughout the campaign.

[Speed of Sound]

Siege40 announced he will be retiring at the end of his term yesterday in his "Atlasian Journal" newspaper.

its a write in campaign

Well is it actually official? Since he did not post it in the candidate declaration thread, no, it is not but it's very likely.

thats why it says 'officially' instead of officially.

          Populism has returned with a new party up its sleeve
With the official forming of The Christian Democratic party today, membership quickly jumped from zero to eight as of 10:00 PM EST today.The party holds many popular and influental people including  Senator Harry and SoS WMS. The party's quick popularity shows that it has the potential to become a powerful party very quickly. The party is focused around the populist ideology, a rather frequently seen ideology in Atlasia. Expect to see this party put up some rising stars and powerful candidates in October.
