Run for Governor. I think you'd do a great job - you were excellent as President. Or Senator. Or hey, why not President again? Wink

The Office of Former President Polnut
Boston


Former President Polnut released the following statement late last night.

I wanted to address requests that I reconsider my retirement, and that I consider running for any of a number of positions, primarily based in the Northeast.

I want to run down each option.

I said that I would not consider returning to the Northeast Assembly, I stand by that.

I will not consider running for Governor, as I did endorse Napoleon, and I do not go back on my endorsements.

The final office I considered running for was the Senate. Now, as there was already a progressive candidate in Snowstalker, I discussed this matter with a number of people across the Northeast, including Governor Snowstalker. I made it clear, that I was not interested in splitting the progressive vote, and there was only a couple of circumstances where I would consider that run.

The Governor stressed to me his desire to seek a seat in the Atlasian Senate, and with that, I can formally announce that I will not be seeking elected office in the near future. I will however, consider other options over the coming months, should they be made available.

Not to keep nagging you about elected office, but since Tender Branson's resigned, would you accept an interim appointment to fill out rest of his Senate term? Hypothetically speaking, of course.

It's something I would consider

Constitutionally, an election is required unless he resigned before taking office, or near the end of his term.

Boston Common Rotunda

*Former President Polnut walks from his campaign bus through thick crowds to the Rotunda*

I want to thank all of you for being here on this cold evening, and I promise not to keep you here long.

I can tell you, when I arrived here last November after an amazing trip from Nyman, I had no intention of being here again.

After some time I realised that I still have something to offer. I'm ready to return to the service of my country and its people. In the Atlasian Senate I believe I bring my experience as a Governor, a regional representative, the Speaker of that Assembly and finally as President to the fore.

I have spent years working for a genuine progressive movement in this country, but this is more than about one ideology.

To put it simply, I am ready, willing and able to work with all, to bring a real change to this country. With the dissolution of the major parties, hopefully, approaching, this is an opportunity that needs to be taken by the horns. This requires people of experience and who are willing to put the hard-yards in.

I was elected President with a record mandate across the political spectrum, and left office with increasing approvals that I hope showed that I was prepared to work with anyone to get things done. Very often this rubbed people in my own party up the wrong way, but I believe that sometimes your own conscience should be your guide.

I worked with the Senate during my time to pass a comprehensive income and corporate tax reform, the plan to get our troops home from Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan with honour, to put in place a program to assist young people dealing with bullying as well as investment into renewable energy.

This is a time for pragmatism and a time for experience, I want to thank you all so much for your support in this process. I also welcome my opponent Clarence to this race, he's a great Atlasian who I believe has a lot to offer. Hopefully, you determine that I'm the right person to serve in the Senate.

I will also make this pledge... If I am elected to serve the remainder of this term, I will seek a full-term in my own right.

I pledge myself to the Atlasian people, to serve all as I did as President.

So I want to thank you all again, I take nothing for granted, I need your help to get this done.

I will be making a very brief tour across the country this weekend.

I look forward to speaking with many of you and answering any questions you might have.

Thank you all!!

Polnut- it will be an honor to run a race with some one so experienced and respected here as you. If I read it right the election begins tomorrow so I dont know if we have time for a formal debate, but if people would like to see you and me (and I believe Jersey Rule is running too) in a Q&Aforum I would be happy to participate

I'm happy to do something like that, if there's time.
