Bore/Nix for President

[bore]

Ladies (though this might be redundant) and Gentlemen of the Northeast I'll be running for northeast assembly for the special election for Senator Napoleon's seat. I'll be running because I believe I can provide an active voice for  northeastern principles, continuing what I started last session. Last session I was one of the more active members of the assembly, and I introduced two major game reform measures, a debate bill and a redrafting of the SOAP, if elected I hope to continue this reforming streak.

Feel free to ask any questions.

You have my endorsement for first preference, as I was proud to appoint you to fill the vacancy.  You have been very active in the past and I trust you'll do well if elected to a full term.

[Simfan35]

IF I am indeed not reinstated, you have my endorsement.

[fezzyfestoon]

You've got my endorsement as well!

[bore]

Thank you all for the kind words and endorsements, it means a lot to me!

[Simfan34]

Sadly, I'm alive, so you don't have my endorsement.

[Napoleon]

I felt really bad that I didn't give you a higher preference in the last election. You've been doing a great job!!

[Adam Griffin]

Absolutely endorsed!

[bore]

Thank you senator Napoleon and soon to be Vice president Griffin, I really appreciate it.

As of right now, bore is leading in the latest poll, 6-4-3. Borementum!

[Northeast Rep Snowball]

As of right now, bore is leading in the latest poll, 6-4-3. Borementum!

Don't say that, see where it got Snowey.

Polls are a tricky sort, to say the least. There'd be quite a few more elected Laborites if polls always told the truth.

I vote in all the polls if that gives you any indication of how reliable a poll is.

[bore]

I vote in all the polls as well, but the poll results will only show the most active voters, and you've got the possiblity of non regional voters, so they're not completely reliable. I'm expecting a very close election.

[Sopranos Republican]

Yeah I voted too.

[Napoleon]

Yeah I voted too.

I didn't.

[Northeast Rep Snowball]

Yeah I voted too.

I didn't.

Explaining my vote on the speakership

I voted for Lt gov and rep Spenstar in the recent speakership election, and I thought my constituents might want an explanation. To me, both Spenstar and Snowball would be (equally) excellent speakers, and as neither has any more legislative experience than the other, and the speakership is a non partisan position (if it were partisan, I'd obviously support my labour colleague snowball), I wanted to balance out the votes to give either one a chance of winning. Were the votes 2-1 Spenstar I would have done the same thing. I wish both the candidates good luck for the remainder of the vote.

[bore]

Go vote, people!!!!!!!

[bore]

I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate sirnick on his comfortable win, he ran an active and interesting campaign and deserved it, and also congratulate kalwejt, 20RP12 and Matt for their performances- anyone of you would have made great assemblymen.

I'd also like to thank all my supporters, it was very pleasing to see some of my favourite atlasians like reps snowball and fezzy, governor scott and senator napoleon vote for me, as well as, of course, everyone else.

With regards to the future I plan to stay active in both the northeast and atlasia, and will be running for office at some point in the future, although I'm not sure when.

Thank you, Bore.

[Adam Griffin]

You are an absolute gem, and I am certain that the NE will have time to seriously reflect upon a post-bore Northeast Assembly. No doubt you will still have a future in the Northeast.

[Napoleon]

Echoing what Griffin said. You should consider a Senatorial run!

Already recruiting another opponent for me, eh?

Ideally you will stick to the two term tradition.

That said, it will be very difficult for Labor candidates, even good ones like Bore, to win region-wide in the Northeast now that they have bussed half of their voters down south, as unfortunate as that may be.

Bore is a trans-partisan figure and his service to the region won him respectable support from outside the Labor Party. Judging by the size of the Northeast, it certainly should be the region with the most inter-party cooperation and non-partisan attitudes, unless something has changed.

As someone who crossed party lines to vote for Bore and has been at the center of Northeast politics for about as long as I've been here (besides my stint in DC when I was President),  I'd have to agree. The inter-party cooperation and non-partisan attitudes have always existed here and have nothing to do with our size. The Mideast and IDS have been close to us in population, I think maybe the Mideast surpassed us once, but they haven't come close to us in cooperation. I'm not being critical of these regions, I think the polarization in the IDS is healthy for the region even if I think you went too far getting it there.

I look forward to seeing Bore around here in the future- he's a great contributor and I like the way he approaches legislating. I just wanted to point out that the deck is stacked, so to speak. Bore will have to work harder now that Alfred and all the others have abandoned us.

Ladies and gentleman, I have decided, after some consideration, to run for the at large senate seat vacated by Franzl. I'm running because atlasia deserves a real contest for senate, and, if elected, I'll work hard to be a voice of both the left, and all of atlasia.

As always, feel free to ask any questions.
