Live From Philadelphia, **MANN Election Coverage**

Either way you don't much about what's going on.

Phil, don't confuse the amount of talking with the amount of thinking.  It's that sort of thinking that caused dittoheads to think Rush was such a brilliant talk show host.  Frankly, I had hoped that you would mellow somewhat while in office.  If anything, you have become shriller.

I have voiced the same outrage about members who come on, vote in elections and leave before I ever was elected to office. I have not become "shriller" and I am surprised that, in your opinion, I had to "mellow." I find it annoying the way Traldan has conducted himself on this forum. He accuses me of playing games and that I am just trying to find fault with Democrats. That's not true at all and proves that he does not know much about what is going on here.

You have always struck me as someone who is both principled and partisan, but one who is more concerned with partisanship than principle.  I haven't see you rage at the low post voters with blue avatars with anything like what you have done against low post Red avatars.  At the most, you have caught your breath between anti-red avatar rants with some generic rants, but I don't see you crying out against LesterMaddox, Moorein08, or even George W. Bush specifically, all of who are low-post blue avatars that voted this election in ways that suggest that they have little knowledge of our fantasy politics.  If so, I have missed it in all the “sound and fury, signifying nothing”, that has been generated on this issue.

I'm more concerned about about partisanship over principle? Well guess what, Ernest? I did speak out against Moorein08's vote. I said that this was something we did not need starting up again. That stuff gets me angry, Ernest, and I don't need you nor anyone else telling me that I don't care if it happens within my party. I have also spoken out against preferential voting even when it was not in the best interest of my party so I'd appreciate it if you held back on your comments about how I am more partisan when it comes to these issues.

I guess I missed your comment on Moorein08.  Given the volume here, that's understandable, but the one or two comments you have made on him certainly do not come close to the number of comments you have made on red avatar voters.  As for your anti-preferential voting stand, I consider that an example of your high degree of partisanship.  By refusing to support other candidates thru the use of second preferences, you are essentially saying if your candidate doesn't win, you don't care who wins because they are aren't who you want to win.  The optimum strategy for partisans that don't care for alliances with the center is to force centrists to have to decide between the left or the right, which is what not using second preferences does.  Hence, viewed objectively, given what I perceive of your politics, Keystone Phil, not using preferential voting is something you find beneficial to your cause, not harmful.

It also wouldn't sit well with the fans if they saw him rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles over the hometown Nyman Natives since the game is in DC.

You youngsters have no idea how easy you've got it.  I remember dreading having to type.  Of course, the fact that it was indeed typing, on a manual typewriter and not a fancy computer with a word processing program may have had something to do with that.

In any case, at the moment whether or not his vote is invalidated, it wouldn’t affect who wins, and there is zero chance that it could affect the District 2 race.
