Candidate Declaration Thread

[Хahar 🤔]

LOL.

[Хahar 🤔]

Come on, Earl. That's an overliteral interpretation. Andrew is clearly running.

[Хahar 🤔]

Guess you're right.

This is the crappiest ballot Atlasia has ever had.

I don't think you were here for the Colin vs. me vs. GPorter election last October?

I wasn't, but I do know about it. But that had a substantial write-in campaign, at least.

Look at the downballot races here.

[Хahar 🤔]

     I suppose this begs the question: what if Afleitch gets the most votes for President, but Meeker gets the most votes for Vice-President?

The top ticket wins.

[Хahar 🤔]

Too late. The Spade case means you can't pull that trick.

Okay, didn't know that. There's still more than one way to skin a cat...

Basically, once the election starts, you can't withdraw. Also, if you're a declared candidate, you can't not accept votes.

[Хahar 🤔]

Congratulations.

[Хahar 🤔]

Excellent job, both of you.

I hope the Senate calls for a revote of some kind.

[Хahar 🤔]

I will be running for reelection as governor of the Pacific

When is the election?

December.

We should perhaps find candidates for that.

But you already have me!...



ME!!!!

You can't be Governor and Lieutenant Governor at the same time.

You ought to run for something.

I know that you want to.

[Хahar 🤔]

Excellent.

[Хahar 🤔]

I will accept write-ins for Midwest Governor.

They'll all be second preferences.
Running for ilikeverin.

[Хahar 🤔]

I am running for Lt. Governor of the Pacific.

You're wasting your time. You can't win.

[Хahar 🤔]

You're wasting your time. You can't win.

That's what everyone told Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama. All ended up winning.

...

I've ran in the Pacific, numerous times. Join the amorphous left-wing mass of zombies (sometimes known as the JCP) to win; otherwise, you will lose.

[Хahar 🤔]

Look, I understand the uphill nature of the race. But I'm here to give it my all no matter what the chances seem to be. I'm the kind of person that is going all in, whether the odds are with me or against me. If my intentions were to get in over my head and make myself look like a fool, I would run for Senate or Governor in the Pacific. I plan on working hard for this race, not demeaning an entire electorate and ridiculing well-meaning candidates.

That's what your opponent will do.

And they should.

What do I have to lose by entering this race?

Any effort you put in will be invariably wasted.

[Хahar 🤔]

I should note that I had the exact same conversation with Torie prior to him running for Senate that Xahar has been having with Hamilton.

I remember that race. Too bad it didn't lead to anything lasting.

Yeah but my race is considered a toss-up, None of the Above defeated you in a landslide. Please do not attempt to criticize my electoral pursuits ever again.

Ah, refer to the April 2008 Senate election. I'm perfectly familiar with toss-ups.

[Хahar 🤔]

How do you possibly get off calling yourself a "leftist"?  Name one left wing viewpoint that you hold.  Even if you can, you are more right than left, and you know it.

I am a little bit of a fiscal conservative, besides that, I don't hold any right wing view points. I favor the preservation of choice, am supportive of gay rights, desire environmental protections for biodiversity, have vehemently opposed taxes that disproportionately affect the poor, desire health care reform, and am a fair trader. I have consistently opposed all religious nutjobs, only believe in cutting taxes during times of necessity (recessions), not just cutting taxes for the sake of cutting taxes. Let's be real, if we just campaign on tax cuts forever, pretty soon there will be no taxes left to cut, and I support a balanced budget mandate for at least 70% of budgets.

Then why are you in the RPP?

Yeah to be fair, you sound a lot closer to the DA than the RPP.

The DA would be more than happy to welcome him!

The LNF has nachos!

The LNF has Xahar.

I have nachos!

[Хahar 🤔]

Wow, Andrew, are you really still Governor?

[Хahar 🤔]

I don't think that Ben can be at this stage elected to anything, anywhere. No knock on Ben, of course.

[Хahar 🤔]

I'm not refering to the sentence, of course. Otherwise my wording would be different.

[Хahar 🤔]

I wouldn't bet on it.
