I would really prefer to get 2nd preferences because people think I'm the next best candidate to their primary choice....not just to take revenge on another candidate Smiley
Well as I said, I was undecided.  This decision just made it all the easier

You are quite such a Leninist and don't seem to realise it. Very strange.

Yes, but the assembly was defeated because not enough residents of the Southeast wanted it. That's how the government and the laws work. There were no "cheap political ploys"; this was a result of a free and fair election that your side lost.
There was no legitimate reason to oppose this legislature (something popular in every region proposed) except for cheap political purposes.  If that was worth a boatload of 2nd preferences so be it, but the RPP is probably willing to give all its second preferences to Franzl that would have gone to you because you played this dirty little trick and deprived the majority will of the Dirty South.  If Jedi is eliminated, Franzl will become president now simple as that because you went against your game reform ideals into cheap tricks

I'd appreciate it if you could only reply to my posts while sober, thanks.

If people don't want a regional legislature, they don't want it. Maybe you could stop attacking everyone who disagrees with you and vowing to get revenge against them and try and make the case for this regional legislature which is, according to you, objectively a good thing. And I still don't know what the "dirty little trick" you're referring to is, and saying that I preformed this trick is especially puzzling, as I don't even live in the Southeast. In fact, in the region I do live in, a legislature passed which I opposed, and I didn't even throw a temper tantrum about it and threaten to set up a shadow government! Graciously accepting the results of a free and fair election, imagine that!

Apparently, in DWTL's mind: Governor of the Southeast illegally closes the voting booth and, in the process, disenfranchises at least one voter = Bacon King up to his dirty tricks?

Isn't it about time we start deciding on when to hold a convention and a city and all that?

As usual, people should start nominating cities from each region

I'll give my 5:
Northeast: Boston, MA
Mideast: Baltimore, MD
Dirty South: Charleston, SC
Midwest: Milwaukee, WI
Pacific: Seattle, WA

I'd highly suggest having the convention in the Midwest or Dirty South

I would like to propose holding our convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. Wink Chicago would be nice too.

I forgot what the protocol is, but I'm thinking maybe we should select the region first and then the city

Maybe we should have it in the Midwest since Jedi hails from there.

How about where DWTL lives, i.e. in his parents' basement where the inflatable dolls are found?

You know, Sh!thole, NJ, though I consider that town name redundant.

Convention in San Diego, CA. A strong military city, beautiful weather, a Republican background, multi-cultured. It's a perfect spot.

What would be the point in holding our convention in the most hostile region?  I think the Midwest is our best bet because Jedi is our candidate

Because the Midwest is a boring ass region. Denver is the only option. Anyways, the GOP 2004 convention was in NYC. San Diego is a fine location. If not, then I propose Philadelphia.

Well, having a vote on the region is certainly the first step.  After that, exact city details can be hammered out.

Once again, I encourage all voters, especially those from the Mideast,  to support having the convention in the Mideast. Bringing tourism in should help boost our struggling economy.

I vote for the Northeast region, with it's deep history, beautiful locations, and our VP's region.

I have not decided on my vote yet, but it will not be the Pacific or the Mideast.  The two regions just aren't where we need to be right now.

The Midwest is Jedi's home, the Northeast is AndrewCT's home, and the Dirty South is the RPP's home

No?  The Dirty South is the home of the RPP, its where the party was founded and where the chairman is from.  We certainly have branched out beyond being a purely Dirty South party, but that does not change history or fact

The RPP has a presence in every region, in fact we might have more registered in the Mideast than the Dirty South. Just because your Fantasy Five RPPers are in the South doesn't mean that is our party.

It is the home of the party, its not the only location but it is the home.  That's like denying that the JCP's home is the Pacific.  The fact is the original mission of the RPP was preservation of the Dirty South and that remains intrical

Is anyone planning on calling an approval vote on the chair at the next convention?  If so, I suggest they do it now so that the possible candidates for chair can make their positions for the direction of the RPP known if the motion of no confidence passes

There is no need to change our chairman. Why would we?
