    How do these primaries work?

    What is the impact of them? How many will there be? Will each one eliminate a candiate until there is only two left for the main election? Just curious.

    cant we just bring it to two...
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    I think after the results are in there will be another debate topic and primary within a day or two.

    Fair enough.

    So basically since EE got into this, this primary was basically the eliminate EE primary so the real people can get on with the election.

    Got it.

    I don't think so.

    All of the candidates have something different to offer. Personal feelings shouldn't get in the way of any one of them, or what they are offering. I think most people should base their decision on what points are made in the debate. I know I would, if I could vote.
    I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

    lol We all know that politicians lie. They'll say anything to get elected and then once they are, all the zoners will be stuck with empty promises. Some of the candidates are power hungry and regardless of what they say in the debates, we all know nothing good would come if they were elected.


    There's not a stone in my heart I've left unturned
    Not a piece of my soul that I ain't searched
    The only answer I found for all this hurt
    Is there ain't not answer here on earth

    So why not vote for the person who has been trying to make the Zone a better place long before these elections came about.

    That's exactly it. Plus make it a public ballot so anyone who dares support me can be harrassed by the ham handed status quo.

    It was made public so we can avoid and investigate the fraud you complained about happening.

    It also provides proof that there has been no back room shenigans as you can see who voted as well as the number of votes.

    I would be willing to accept shelby's word that there has been no foul play if we had a secret ballot.

    If we do that the amount of work on shelbys plate increases by a huge amount.

    Exactly.
    Then one more debate between the final 2 candidates, and the final election.

    ...and that predates any creation of a Zone Presidential Campaign.

    If I were to run for Bills Zone President, I would pull all my buddies out of Iraq and let those ****ers do what they want.
