Announcement of Running Mate

[Keystone Phil]

Nyman, DC

Keystone Phil walks up the steps onto the stage. In the background is the Capitol building and supporters waving Atlasian flags. Keystone Phil takes the microphone out of the stand and begins to pace around the stage.

Good evening! It's great to be in Nyman for my last campaign event before the convention. I'm sorry to inform everyone of this but shortly after this event I'll need to head to the airport. The good news is that I am flying down to Tampa and hope to be accepting the ACA nomination for President in a few days!

The reason why I am here, as everyone knows, is to announce my pick for running mate. Some may be scratching their heads, thinking to themselves, "What is he doing that for? He's not even the nominee yet." Well, folks... that is true. However, I see my win in the primaries as a sign of strength going into the convention. I have also spoken with a few people regarding their vote concering convention balloting. Let me tell you something: After seeing and hearing these things, I am confident that we are going to win this. That is why I have decided to announce my running mate this early.

Now enough about me. Let's focus on the man I want to see as the next Vice President of Atlasia. The person I have chosen to run with is an experienced guy. He knows what he's doing. The gentleman I speak of is also one of the most dedicated and hardest working individuals in all of Atlasia.

I would also like to say that I am very honored that he took me up on the offer. I know that if I wasn't in this race and he asked me to be his running mate, I'd be thrilled. I'm even happier that he has decided to be mine.

Before I make the announcement...I know, I know...you can't wait but it will have to for just another moment...I want to say that the candidate we will be backing for Vice President is not a member of the ACA. I know members of the party will respect that. Though he is not a member of our party, he shares our goals and has confidence in what our campaign will stand for. He is a proud conservative, a proud Atlasian and hopefully, the next President of the Senate.


Ladies and Gentlemen of Atlasia, my running mate for the June 2005 election is Attorney General MHS2002.





"Ain't no stopping us now" plays over the loadspeakers as supporters wave the new Keystone Phil - MHS2002 signs.

[MHS2002]

First off, I’d like to thank Phil for the introduction.

I have been a part of the Republic of Atlasia for over a year now, and I have seen many great Atlasians come and go. Our nation is lucky to have been under the leadership of such great statesmen as Nym90, Gustaf, and John F. Kennedy. Even today, our government is full of politicians and members of the highest caliber. In the same mold, I feel that Keystone Phil represents the best that Atlasia has to offer.

I have seen Phil defend positions and people that are unpopular, with vigor and decisiveness that would make our very own Former Senator Chief of Staff Mike Naso blush. He has never strayed from his views and has never abandoned his friends in a time of need. Phil is a man of principle, a man who I feel is more than fit to lead this great nation. It is truly an honor and privilege to serve on his ticket.

I must applaude Mr. Innamorato for his excellent choice of a running mate. Best of luck to both you and MHS.

[True Democrat]

I would agree with Senator Wixted.  MHS2002 is an excellent choice for Vice-President.
