I don't mean to sound partisan, but why would we endorse one person who bolted from our party and another who never joined (to my knowlegde), rather a rising star of our own in the VP ticket?

I personally think that either tickets would make fine Presidents/Vice Presidents; I simply think that Al/Siege would be better than Lewis Trondheim/True Democrat based on what I've seen to date.  I vote based on who I feel would be best for Atlasia, not on what would most benefit the Democratic Party.
It would seem to me that you answer the question of "who would be best for Atlasia?" in the ballot box, and when deciding who the Democratic Party should endorse you go with the best move for the party.  You're certainly not bound to vote the party's endorsement in the end.
This isn't a question of who's best for Atlasia.  It's a question of who the Democratic Party should endorse.  And we should go with our member, True Democrat, and the guy who chose him as his running mate, Lewis.
Isn't Alcon a member?

Since I have become the anti-christ of the AFDNC, they often forget that.  I must say I am surprised how many of you ditched your support of Lewis.
Nym is the only one to have done that, really.

And, Al, it's not. But then neither is the comparison between Atlas Democrats and US Republicans, or between me and Ron Paul...or between KEmp and Evan Bayh.

I haven't "ditched" support of you really. I think both you and Al would make fine Presidents, and True Democrat and Siege would both be excellent VPs. It wasn't an easy choice. My main reasons for supporting Al are the greater experience of the Al/Siege ticket, and the fact that I think they would have a better chance of effecting positive change once in office.
I'm not angry...all I meant is that you once stated you'd support me, and Umengus and TexasGurl never did, while Gabu always qualified his support for me, thence they could not be said to have ditched me.
