Does the Midwest deserve Governor FitzGerald?

[Adam Griffin]

I love how I can count on one hand - with room to spare - the number of actual Midwest citizens who have spoken out about the Governor's "actions" in any way more significant than signing a recall petition or placing a joke write-in preference on their ballot after receiving a PM from someone to do so. All one has to do is look at the primary ringleaders of this effort to get a grasp of its actual significance (which is just one big troll-fest, and very much resembles the shakedowns of this past summer).

And how dare you use Carter in this.

Considering that it's effectively two separate elections (one for the recall and one for the replacement), I'm willing to bet that Gass decided to run under the assumption that the Governor would/should not be able to run as his own replacement in the event he were recalled. In addition, I would highly doubt that 60%+ of the region supports a recall and then simultaneously votes to put the Governor back into office, so if I were a Laborite or leftist in the Midwest, I'd be happy to know that I would have someone on the ballot to represent me in the event the recall is successful.

Just hold the vote how they want you to hold it, Governor. From lowly regional representatives to the Supreme Court, they're obviously just going to keep this up until they get the result they want.

I'll just say that - with a particular focus on the term - "along with" can also mean "in conformity or accordance with", implying that as long as the process is handled in its entirety or as intended, holding consecutive votes would be acceptable. There can also be a semantic debate about its usage as both a consecutive and concurrent descriptor in the same instance; "Along with my job of manning the election booth today, I also have to go by the bank at some point" would imply that these things are both happening today (concurrent), but could also imply that one will happen before the other (consecutive).

I believe I also missed the "immediately" part originally, which had I noticed that, would have rendered what I had to say moot.
