2nd FLP Conference

[Ebowed]

Ah, excellent.  I'm sure the choice of Atlanta, GA shocked all of those that thought the conference would be held in Minnesota or West Virginia.

If we plan on doing endorsements for the Mideast Gubernatorial race we should do that first as the election starts in two days.

[Ebowed]

Are we going to have a primary or endorsement vote between myself and Texasgurl, or will the Farmer-Labor Party just run two candidates?

I believe we'll be holding an endorsement vote for all Senate races as well as the Presidential race.  You will have my vote for the Mideast Senate endorsement btw.

[Ebowed]

So...anything to debate on? Any votes? Or should I just sit around the convention hall all day drawing doodles?

So you're the one responsible for all of that graffiti on the wall.   

[Ebowed]

Er... debate the endorsements

We will now need to hold a re-endorsement on the Presidential race, as candidates have dropped out and others announced.  On this second Farmer Labor convention ballot I will also include a re-endorsement vote on the Northeast Senate race, as migrendel has announced he will oppose Colin Wixted as a member of his newly founded Communist Party.

[Ebowed]

I vote for King/Bob, with Supersoulty/WMS as a second preference
