The only REALLY bad president was Lawrence.

How would you know?

he's gonna say "the wiki"

It was shocking, Al,

I wasn't even slightly surprised

Oh? Seriously? Interesting.

Remember the nasty goings on within lefty-land in the runup to the election? That's why.

I could of sworn that staying out of the mudslinging would get me elected. Alas, Phil and Porce ran the best campaign in recent memory, getting someone who had just returned from an extended absence and posting as a fictional woman on somebody else's account elected, and handily at that. I think he'll do a good job, though.

This "resurrection" wasn't so much a JCP turnaround as much as it was a Xahar meltdown.  People who voted for him in the general voted against him in the runoff, and I'm guessing his more-arrogant-than-fu** attitude had something to do with it.

Me meltdown? The JCP machine realized it needed to start working.

And I was too arrogant. So? If you had done what I did, you would have been arrogant too. And tell me that half of the Friz voters actually read that thread.

And what you did was... force a runoff that you could have won, but instead lost by a landslide largely due to your own behavior and arrogance since forcing said runoff?

This.

I had a similar episode when I ran for SE Lt. Governor. I decided to vote NOTA for Governor [Bono,unopposed] and Senate [Sam Spade, unopposed]. It came off as arrogant, as it should have, and I nearly lost an uncontested race.

No, there need to be real parties full stop. The only party that comes close to that is the JCP. How sad.

I like to consider the PLP a real party. We convene, have votes... you know, party stuff.
