I echo the sentiment of my colleague Speed of Sound in saying that this is going to be a great campaign, and honestly, I'm not terribly afraid of losing, because  the people that will take the oath in my stead are pretty capable. I would like to thank all of those who cast their ballots for me, and I strive to reassure them that they made the correct decision in the coming weeks, and perhaps months.

I know the poll is over, but the recent comment made by our President regarding the Governor's and the End to Districts amendment "I don't give a sh**t about the regions, I don't give a sh**t about your power" is making me reconsider marking him as my #2 decision in October, and instead, swaying me over toward Governor Polnut, who has been a staunch opponent of this amendment.

Dave forbid that we actually have things in place less than a week after an election. How could we possibly remove the Atlasian tradition of grinding for weeks, even months before districts are decided so that the political process gets driven to all but frozen.[/sarcasm]
 Defeat of the amendment is a victory for bureaucracy and continued exclusion of candidates and healthy, informative campaigns. I will use this post as my endorsement of the amendment, although my de facto endorsement occurred in the voting booth.

This pretty much sums up my feelings.
