Interesting strategy, it seems like Andrew is making a statement that he can without the support of the RPP.  A calculated risk, will it pay off?

I've never said that I didnt need the support of the RPP. Of three potential VP picks, two of them were RPP members that I thought would be a valuable asset. I like both of these people, but one of them I consider to be one of the brightest and most active people in Atlasia.

Are you calling Duke an idiot Tongue (not that I think you are)

I fully would support your presidency, but remember the reason I supported Bgwah over Moderate was Moderate's choice of Verily.  I think you really had a chance to send a message that you were starting a new Atlasian era and you kind of dropped the ball.  However, of course you will have my second preference and I would obviously vote for you if you were running individually.

My question is that will the RPP split its vote between Andrew and Bgwah? Right now I am slightly leaning towards the later but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the former. From what you have said and what I have gathered both a pretty good on regional rights. Of course there is a chance that someone might run that is a member of the RPP and that would change everything. Has Gov Duke ruled out a run yet, I have heard his name mentioned?
No RPP candidate will be contesting the presidency this go around, although it is more than likely that Duke will be running in the next cycle, something that has been known for quite some time now.  I don't see much RPP split, although I do know a few RPPers who have pledged to Andrew for reasons I can understand

I thought having a candidate at the last election to run on platform of increased regional power on the ballot again would have been just the ticket no? Smiley

Duke has pledged that he wouldn't run if Bgwah ran. I doubt the RPP will split its vote now.

I had thought so I just wanted to make sure. As I said I am leaning towards Bgwah right now.

I was looking at running when it appeared as if bgwah may not run for reelection. When he announced his intentions to seek reelection, it was clear that I would play spoiler in the race for someone, so I decided not to give it a go.

I like Andrew and I was impressed with his judgement during the Xahar appointment. I was also eager to lend him my support during the race, but, like DWTL said, his choice of VP bothers me. Anyone who openly slanders my party for whatever reason isn't someone I can be gung ho about supporting. If it was anyone but Afleitch, I'd have no problem. However, because he chose him, I will have to rethink my options.

You badmouthed our party as recently as two days ago and having a ticket made up entirely of a party that includes Hashpipe and HappyWarrior among its ranks is a sickening thought.  Perahps moreso than yourself even is those who you seem to most closely associate with

Check out two days ago when you sympathized with Ogis when we told him to get out of our party. I'm sorry, but we have never treated anyone unfairly. You and other's hatred of our party is purely based on our so called ideological differences.

If I need to quote the post for you, I certainly will.

one flaw with the party thing is. You can't kick someone out of your party. If they sign up for the party and want to stay in it, there is nothing you can do. Othewise your post would be completly right.

     There is precedent for the SoFA allowing parties to boot members. I could look for the post where I saw it if anybody's interested.

Now here's a story for the National Weekly (if it wants to go down the path of trashy tabloids)! I can see the headlines now:

Is this the rekindling of an old flame? PiT and DC United's hot-cold relationship heats up.

Oh, and the real reason I was going to post...

In the late 90's, a Queensland MP was convicted of paedophilia. When he was accused (but before he was convicted) the Premier expelled him from the caucus and refused to count his vote on matters of confidence.

Mike, if you don't want Sam Spade in your party, you have the right to remove him as party leader.

     Lewis wasn't SoFA yet though, so I'm not sure how good this quote actually is.

We can if he has already been banned from this website before. The issue was he claimed we offered him support and then took it back and chastised him. He also demanded we give him a chairmanship in a region. We are not required to give him anything nor give him support in any election, especially if its a guy like Ogis.

We endorsed you with the belief that you supported regional rights and you certainly have not fulfilled that.  You also have not once returned the favor and supported an RPP candidate

I've yet to understand what your interpretation of regional rights actually is considering some of the people you have overlooked who could have pushed that sort of legislation through.
