Honestly, Solo, all you're doing is splitting the vote and making it easier for the GOP to win in November. If you're basically running a Democratic platform, why run against our party?

Party politics is bad for the nation.

It is, but this is a game, not reality. So we want the game to be fun, but also realistic. And reality dictates that Bill Gates would not run. He would likely endorse Bloomberg from the start. A Gates indie bid is not really contributing to the game.

I concur.

I may do so....I'm still considering....

The main problem I have with you rejoining the game is that you quit in the midst of a very competitive primary and then join back just days later as an Indi. I think it should be 1 person per 1 character. But, on the other hand, I do want to be fair to Solo's side...... we'll see...

P.S.- I had a family event today so the earliest you could expect results will be tomorrow evening. If they're not up by then then they will be up the 26th.

Considering that he was Hillary Clinton and he abandoned such a strong candidate, I think that he shall not have the right of running again as an independent. I would only accept if he decides to be Bloomberg Running Mate, and if so, let's see if Bloomberg agrees. =)

Why would a solidly left candiadate be the running mate of a moderate right candidate?

Quite frankly, this is getting pretty ridiculous. But it is up to the Moderator, the great Governor Spamage, and Solopop. I and the Senator are fine with either decision.

I motion to boycott the game until Governor Spamage makes the correct and realistic decision by removing Gates from the game. Smiley Solopop had a very fair chance at this game with Hillary Clinton, and chose to end it. He shouldn't get another chance with an implausible candidate.
