Whig Party Convention, Bird-in-Hand, PA

[Supersonic]

I'm calling an emergency Convention to deal with the resignation of the Chair.

Evidently, I'm now the new Chairman of the Party and a new Vice-Chair shall have to be elected. If you wish to nominate yourself, please go ahead. If only one candidate decides to stand, they shall automatically be elected via acclamation. 48 hours shall be held for nominations.

In addition, an official Whig Party candidate shall be required to stand in the upcoming Senatorial election. If you wish to stand for the Senate, please indicate your candidacy.

Senatorial and Vice-Chair nominations shall now commence.

If it's my place to say, I think "the right" in Atlasia would greatly benefit by holding a joint primary to determine our candidate for the senate election. Although this system didn't necessarily work out for the Whigs in the presidential primary, it would be a good way to consolidate the right and ensure we elect a senator with the same values as clarence.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

I'd like to submit myself for that primary.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

I'd like to submit myself for that primary.

Seconded. I nominate myself as well.

[Simfan34]

I nominate myself.

[Goldwater]

Are we ready to start voting now?

[Supersonic]

Yes, indeed.

As the issue is more pressing, the Senatorial primary vote shall now be held.

24 hours of voting.

I'm only putting down my first choice, because it was hard enough choosing one out of the three, let alone ordering them.

Wait, is Goldwater in the primary? He's already declared. We'll have two Whig candidates this race.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Ah, shyte. I totally missed his declaration. I assume Supersonic missed it as well. I'm not sure how to proceed here.

Is Republitarian choosing to forgo the primary? I'd assumed we'd all accept it, but that might have been naïve of me. I'm not sure there's anything in our party rules about running primaries at all. So the interesting thing is, any Whig could probably choose to forgo the primary and still have to recieve our endorsement.

I'll let Supersonic chime in here about what we'll do with this vote. Beyond that, we should probably have a discussion about whether we'd like to make primaries a permanent part of our party (and how we'll enforce the results).

[Goldwater]

Wow, I got all sorts of confused, for some reason I thought we were voting on the Vice-Chairman of the Whig Party. 

[HagridOfTheDeep]

lol, it's okay. You definitely took the smart approach.

[Goldwater]

So should I drop out of the race? Because I don't think two Whigs should be competing for the same senate seat...

Those preferences were tough.

Well, my vote might have been different if I'd known you were running. So I'm not going to tell anyone to drop out. I have no idea what we do in a situation like this one.


Luckily, this situation is for Supersonic to fix.

[Grumpier Than Thou]
