Can we form a ticket before posting and run as a Pres/Veep?

Good question. The answer is no. I'd like to have a sort of first and second place thing going on here, it makes it more interesting. Plus I like the idea that we might end up with a P and VP that are very different politically.

I was going to ask Nuke if he wanted to form a ticket. We'd have kicked everyone's ass.

Its a good idea, but, I would like to see everyone take their shot individually in this case. That will get more people involved in the discussions. Otherwise the Veeps can just hang around.

 

But I have to say, a Tex/Nuke ticket would definitely be... interesting.

Yes, interesting. . .

 

What if we just want a sweet pork barrel job? Like Secretary of Fashion and Shoes? Or Education? Do we have to run for that?

Well, I suppose that whomever wins the election can be in a position to give you that gig. Some candidates may even go around enticing the voting/posting public with offers of that sort.

 

For example, maybe a candidate wants your vote, and you say you'll give it to them if they put a line in their sig that says "Soxy is da bomb" in like 64-size font.

 

Let the politicking begin.

Seems awful clique-y and dividing to me.

 

No one wants to know my politics, it'll color their view of my posts.

Of course its cligue-y and dividing. That's what we do in here.

 

 

Nice... this could be fun...

 

Listen, I have finals and stuff to get through, but I want to participate.

 

What's the time range (limit) that you want to accept entries for this?

Let's say the end of next week, maybe Monday. We'll go with 11/27 for the platforms. I'll update the main thread.

I am declaring early. I'll allow the other candidates to use their fancy polling groups to decide what they believe in. I know where I stand and don't need three days to figure that out. Haven't we had enough representatives that can't make a decision without running to outside consultants and pollsters?

I think I need to take some time to talk things over with my family. (For those who don't Habla Presidential Candidate: this translates loosely as spend the next 6 months doing fundraisers).

Sorry NS, I didn't see this thread when I was asking about the "due dates"...

And you want to be President? Must be a GOP candidate, can't read.

I am waiting to see if Barack Obama declares...

Which is funny because I had to move your post as well, Mr. Kinky.

Make your opening platform statement here.

I placed the platform in that thread and came here to discuss. As per your instructions. I assumed you wanted one neat thread with just platforms and all the discussions in another.

Mr Kinky! LMAO! That has to be Tex's new screen name.

I meant your first post in this thread (question about VP), which had previously been in the Platform thread, and I moved it.

I think we should honor the constitutionally mandated minimum age for President

I've gotta say, I am impressed with some of the things I've seen so far. Great platform statements, PA's personal thread... 2 people even have new Sigs for the election. Very cool.

I find it interesting that even though there seems to be 2 repubs, 2 independents and 2 democrats so far.... all of the political views are pretty much even.

 

the debates should be interesting too.

Gee, nice when the moderator favors one candidate by name.

When you're innovative and high profile, it's hard to not be noticed
