Perhaps I'm the only one who finds the idea that someone could think that they were elected despite a giant conspiracy that includes everyone but them and a few other people out to destroy them with its awesome power a bit, uh, elitist.
Hahaha, yeah, that's true... I do have to wonder how Preston thinks he got elected if there's this massive conspiracy out there.
Of course, this does put him in a good situation. He'll either win, in which case everything is good, or he'll lose to Ben Meyers, in which case that's simply further proof of the forum conspiracy (and certainly not simply proof that people think he's going a tad overboard).
