(Howard Dean After Iowa like setting)

Wow.  THat is all I can say.  I ran as a sacraficial lamb knowing I would lose, but instead the voters of our district showed us otherwise.  Everyone ruled us out as losing in a landslide, but we held on.  We held on because the voters in this district knew that they wanted a candidate of the left first and foremost.

I congragulate Supersoulty.  I said when I began this campaign and I will say it again, you will make a great Senator.  You are active, and you have ten times the experience that I have.  Don't let our district down.

I thank all of the people who voted for me, from Senator IrishDemocrat to the newest voter.  You voted thinking I would lose, and though you turned out right, we still fought and showed that this district's left wing still has a voice.

I never expected to even have a chance in this election, thus I did not campaign.  I see now that that cost me.  To be honest, I am a newbie.  I am inexperienced.  I ran as a sacraficial lamb, and had I won, the district would have been deprived of former VP Supersoulty.  He will make a great senator, and while he may not always vote the way we want, he will know of the big left wing population in NY and PA. 

In particular I would like to talk directly to Senator Defarge.  I understand your concerns about me being inactive.  And while, now it turns out that your editing your vote does not matter, I cannot express my disapointment.  But still, I understand, and I will not attack you for doing what you felt was in the distrcts intersts.

And so we leave.  But we leave victorious because though we lost, Democracy won.  What was going to be an unopposed candidate is now a senator who knows that his district has many leftists.  Has many people who disagree with the Republican Party, the UAC Party, and the Freedom Party.  He will understand and he will know the ideology of those he represents.

That is the beauty of Democracy.  That is what makes our Republic so great.  God bless you, and god bless Atlasia.

If only your avatar had been red, I am confident you would have pulled through.

I'm sure with time you may become as respected as Soulty, and I wish you good luck with future endeavours Smiley

Which 2 voters would have changed their votes on this basis?
