Good. This means I don't have to.

You have my vote.

Thanks Lewis, for good measure you would have had mine if you had run.

Well Senator Wixted I wish you all the best in your venture to become Pro Tempore of the 26th Senate. I hope, even if I do lose to your candidacy that you will keep the Senate running in a smooth and orderly fashion, which is one of the primary reasons why I am running for the position.

The same to you Senator Flynn. I hope that whichever one of us wins that we are able to imbibe this Senate with renewed activity and debate. I will try to follow the example of the last great PPT of this chamber, Verily, in his organization and effectiveness in the position.

I couldn't agree with you more Senator. I'm sure you would agree with me Senator Wixted that neither one of us would be running for the position of Pro Tempore if Verily wanted to run though Tongue.

Oh definitely. We are just stewards for the one true PPT, Senator Verily. Tongue Seriously though I would love to have him back in the office.

It's in my nature, inhereted it from my mother. I'll try not to fall flat on my face, though I'm sure you'd get a little pleasure out of that. Wink

Please don't get really sick and have to have the senate get a new PPT like the last time you had the job if you win this term. Tongue

I demand to hereafter be known as the President Pro Tempore Emeritus. If not I refuse to give up power and you will have to stage a bloody coup. Also, I'm taking the gavel with me.

Meeker, you do know that President Moderate has declared a special executive order re-opening the Gulag, which has been moved from Siberia to somewhere in New Jersey. I think it might be in Atlantic City, though I will have to check with the newly renamed Atlasian secret police the KGB SS Mossad, I'm sure Ben Constine, the Lieutenant Governor of the Mideast would be happy.

I've visited the site, and I can confirm that it is, in fact, Atlantic City.

Also remember that I do have a patented coup machine, so that is not a problem. I have only had to use it once so far and somehow the people of the Mideast have not noticed that I have been in complete power there for many months now.

I gave my word to Conor a couple of weeks ago, that I would support him, absent surprising circumstances. The early bird gets the worm. He promised me, he would expend the effort and time to do the job effectively. I have no reason not to believe his word is good.
