If a poster on this forum ran in real life for public office..........

So, what is the office you're running for, Winfield?

The better question is why are you posting on a political forum if you want to run for office?

So, that's why DW Perry stopped posting.

Anyway, we had a number of posters running either successfully or unsuccessfully for office, including quite controversial ones such as Assad, Phil or DWTL, and I don't think there ever was such problem.

Imagine if Bushie ran for office. "Update" would be an opposition research goldmine.

Well, I can't imagine Bushie running

Didn't Assad first scrub his posting history though?

What offices did they run for?

IIRC he held (or is still holding) some local office. He also ran for Congress, losing Republican primary to an incumbent.

Thanks.

Are you referring to Assad, Phil, or DWTL?

Assad. DWTL ran for his local School Board.

I think the IRC channel logs are probably more damning than the posts on the forum.

Who the f**k even keeps those?
