I am forming an exploratory committee for the Northeast Governor election in June.

Count me in as one of your earliest supporters for Northeast Governor.

Having held that position at one time, I know it can be challenging and rewarding.

Go for it.

I am absolutely honored to enthusiastically endorse this fine ticket, two experienced and capable individuals, Clarence and Matt, who will make Atlasia proud.

Go get 'em!

I do not believe the Thatcher funeral was an official state funeral.

However, I have seen it reported that the presence of the Queen at the funeral made it a state funeral in all but name.

In that context then, the Thatcher funeral was not officially designated as a state funeral.

Remember this when it happens.

I predict a mass exodus of NDP MPs from Quebec to the Liberals under Trudeau, knowing they will not be able to win reelection as NDP candidates in Quebec.

Mark my words.

Not likely.  In fact, I would say next to impossible.  Many reasons already stated.

Biden is old hat, even older hat in 2016, and I am not referring only to his age.

Democrats will be looking for renewal seeking to extend to twelve years their occupancy of the Oval Office, not a connection to the past, which is clearly what Biden is.   



 

I have long been a proponent of cross party tickets.

However, in reality, they are impractical, except in times of national crises, i.e. Lincoln/Johnson.

There have been national unity governments historically, during World War I in Canada, and during World War I and World War II in the U.K., consisting of members of government and opposition parties.

With the polarizing politics in the U.S., I cannot see a cross party ticket coming to the fore anytime in the near future in the U.S.

Three years is an eternity in politics.

Things can change dramatically in that time.

Hillary Clinton is leading the polls largely due to one thing, name recognition.

I was not thinking about reservations, considering poor urban districts though...

You did say localities hoewever.

Senator Napoleon

Would you support a ban on the sale of all alcoholic drinks at all sporting events in Atlasia, amateur and professional?

[NAY]

NAY

Cry babies!

You heard the SoFE.

Now just deal with it!

I'll be sure to drop by your office, Senator.

We can enjoy a Pellegrino while discussing an Atlasian full employment strategy.

Who am I kidding?

We'll talk about all the patronage jobs and appointments you'll be bringing to Rhode Island. 

Although I am not a particular fan of aristocratic titles, the IDS certainly has the right to choose the titles of their government officials and institutions.

I believe it would, however, be in the best interests of the IDS to have in your constitution wherever it says Emperor to say Emperor or Empress.

That way, the IDS constitution would reflect no gender bias, and in the event a female is elected as Chief Executive of the IDS, the constitution would already be in order to reflect this.

I believe this approach would be fair, reasonable, and responsible.

Thank you your your time.

Excellent Mr. SoFE.

This will be a great step forward for voting in Atlasia and indeed for the Republic itself.

Thank you homely.

The Republican Party needs to return to its roots, the party of Lincoln, the party of Teddy Roosevelt, the party of Reagan, a big tent party, the party that champions individual liberty and equality, as in the fact the Republican Party was the party that championed the cause of the abolition of slavery, the party that  champions the principle that people are better qualified to make decisions than is the government, the party that believes that it is better to teach a man to fish so he will be able to eat for a lifetime rather than a party that believes it is better to give a man a fish so he can eat for a meal.

All that garbage has been completely discredited Windfield.

The truth never goes out of fashion my friend.

Whatever you decide Clarence, all the best.

You are truly an asset to this board, regardless of your role.

Republican PAC runs the following ad

Have you ever wondered why Batman took in a teenage boy to live with him?

The GOP attacking Batman for taking on an orphaned teenage boy...

That would be the biggest backfire since Dole's godless ad.

Winfield, I hope you're not planning to become campaign manager one day. You wouldn't do a very good job I'm afraid.

Uh, excuse me my friend, but an adult man who likes to wear tights, capes, and masks, takes into his home a young, confused, lonely teenage boy who he persuades to also wear tights, capes, and masks, would be a bonanza for any attack ad group. 

[But, Winfield, since it seems to be a major issue for you, don't you find Governor ro be too male too ? Is there not a feminine term ?]

Anyway, I think one issue Sjoyce and I vaguely agree on is that those Imperial manners are likely coming to an end. Maybe we could indeed have an honorific Tsarina, but that'll be all.

But, Winfield, since it seems to be a major issue for you, don't you find Governor ro be too male too ? Is there not a feminine term ?

Anyway I would like to keep our originality and keep separate names for our offices, although relevant ones. Still looking.

The term Governor is widely accepted as the title of the head of government, whether male or female.  So there is no conflict there.  The term Emperor, however, is decidedly male, with the accepted feminine term being Empress.

We don't want it.

Who is "we"? Are you presuming to speak for all citizens of the Northeast?

Yes.

The Republican Party needs to return to its roots, the party of Lincoln, the party of Teddy Roosevelt, the party of Reagan, a big tent party, the party that champions individual liberty and equality, as in the fact the Republican Party was the party that championed the cause of the abolition of slavery, the party that  champions the principle that people are better qualified to make decisions than is the government, the party that believes that it is better to teach a man to fish so he will be able to eat for a lifetime rather than a party that believes it is better to give a man a fish so he can eat for a meal.

[but notexpressing your feeling that you think both candidates would be good.]

Just please let everyone's vote stand. Other than people voting in other languages again, you can clearly decipher who everyone voted for. I don't think "Damn this was hard" or "both these candidates are great but I'm voting for him because" qualifies as campaigning because A: Who the hell were they campaigning for?  B: How the hell does that effect anything C: I think people who say those statements are just trying to tell everyone that their vote wasn't because they don't like the other person. Now votes that say, such and such by far! Should be counted as campaigning, but not
expressing your feeling that you think both candidates would be good.

Who cares if a voter thinks both candidates would be good?  Nobody cares.

They can keep their personal opinions to themselves while in the voting booth.

In the voting booth, vote for a valid candidate then get out.

We need legislation restricting the voting booth to voting for a valid candidate or for a valid write in person.

Time to put an end to this nonsense once and for all.

A voting booth is for voting, not for your personal comments.

There are plenty of other places for your personal comments.

The voting booth should be restricted to, oh, I don't know, maybe VOTING!

No comments, whatsoever, in any way, shape, or form, anywhere on the ballot, or your vote will be invalidated.

A whole hearted endorsement of ZuWo for Mideast Governor.

Good luck and best wishes.

This is ridiculous.

No comments, anywhere on the ballot, should be permitted.

Some voters try to be cute by writing in something in the write in for a candidate section.

[3] Such a tough choice for me.  Both would make excellent Senators.

WHO CARES?

Save Your comments for another thread.

We don't care what a tough choice this was for you.

What is it that some of you don't understand?

A VOTING BOOTH IS FOR VOTING.

As far as I'm concerned, any comments made anywhere in the voting thread should result in the disqualification of their vote.

Cast a vote for a candidate then get out of the voting booth!

Is that so hard to understand?
