Runoff For Term 8 President

[Togas]

Since none of the Presidential canididates received a majority of the votes, we will have a run-off Presidential election between the top two candidates.

Please vote for one of the two for President:

Arnelos
Aro

This poll will be open for 72 hours.

--Judge Togas

[Spiffor]

Go Arnelos !

[Arnelos]

FYI: The Presidential Poll hasn't closed yet It has about 2 minutes left

Maybe that's "close enough"?

[Arnelos]

Correction, make that ~3-4 minutes left in the first poll. (either 'poly's clock is slow or mine is fast)

[Thud]

Question: Do either of you have a choice for VP? Who?

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Yes, your VP choice, and their willingness to perform the duty could be useful in determining who we would choose to support.

I had wanted to keep that a surprise, but I agree that the voters likely deserve that information.

My first choice as Vice President is the SAME PERSON it was last term, but he's accepted for this term (he turned me down last time).

That person is Nimitz.

He is fully willing to serve, as he's getting a brand new computer and should be able to host turnchats now (where he says it would have been difficult before).

His would-be replacement to the Court is the issue I've been trying to wrestle with over the past week.

Of course, if I don't win, Nimitz stays on the Court

As for panag, if he's available this Friday, he may very well end up running a turnchat (because my availability for that evening is pretty shaky). Picking Nimitz for next term isn't really a vote of no confidence against panag, as I have faith (unlike some...) that he could have handled himself in a turnchat far better than it seems many would expect (and may yet show that this Friday if he's around). It's that I had told Nimitz from the beginning that if he wanted the position, it was his. Since he now wants it, its his

I hope that's acceptable to everyone.

I am deeply relieved that, in choosing a VP you have taken into account not only who you believe would be a good deputy and who you would like to work with, but also the confidence of the citizens in potential VPs.

I too believe this is quite an important piece of campaign information, as the previous choice of VP was a sizeable influence on my last vote, and possibly others' votes.

Your turn, Aro...

[Arnelos]

As I stated in the nomination thread in my own candidacy statement, my intended Vice President would likely have a very large role next term compared to vice presidents in the past. I intended to essentialy split the duties and responsibilities of President with that individual rather than simply keeping them as a "back-up" in the event I wasn't around.

Nimitz easily fits the bill on all counts for that role. If this works out, he would likely have a stronger role as a Vice President than even MrWIA gave me when I was his Vice President

It will be different, but I think it could work.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

So the tickets are:

Arnelos/Nimitz
(the pacifistic socialists)

VERSUS

Aro/Aggie
(the militant enonomists)

[Aro]

Give me a couple of hours, fellows... I've already invited someone, and I'm waiting (anxiously) for a response. Be patient...

[Aggie]

I would just like to say that I endorse Aro in the runoff. Its time for a new face as president and I believe that Aro is the man for the job.

Hey, our court doesn't muck around. When we need a runoff, they give us a runoff .

I haven't decided how I'm going to vote in this election (yet). Having said that, I want to go ahead and say that both cannidates have my full support (I'm giving the 'support both sides since you don't know who'll win' strategy a shot ), and I hope the looser returns to run again next term.

Actually, given the color scheme that Meshelic and I agreed to, it would be:

Arnelos/Nimitz

VERSUS

Aro/ ?

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I would say Aro is more "Blue" and the Sith are more "Red". Isn't Darth Maul all covered in red? Which is why I INTENTIONALLY gave each of you the colors I felt you deserved.
