2009?  How does that work?  We hold an election in May of 2008, and then they don't take office for a whole year?  I swear I feel like an idiot today.   ::)

No, the person we elect in May '08 will take office in May '08, but there are stipulations restricting the speech of members for 1 year after they leave office.

No.  We've kept Wingnut. 

I think it's more a matter of ... content.

Can we early vote yet???  I don't need any stinkin' campaigning or yard signs. 

My new philosophy is 'vote the incumbent out of office'.  Nothing necessarily personal, just looking to shuffle the deck a little.  So that decides who I'm voting for in Places 2 and 6.  And since Jon is all over the map and I wouldn't trust Alex to run a snowcone stand, I'm pretty well settled on my selection for Place 4.   The state department may be knocking on my door over that statement, but I'll deal with that matter in its own time...

At last night's Council meeting Lt. Col. Hamilton announced that he was dropping out of the race due to his business' increasing demands on his time and travel.

I could vote today, too, but we need the yard signs/campaigning to let others know what great candidates Jeff and Darrin are over names they may know.

We need some time to get others on board.   ;)

I am so very glad that you take the careful time to consider a persons character, integrity, beliefs, attitude, and ideology before casting your vote.  God I love America.

I think we should start a list of possible write-ins.

Who said I do all of that?  That sounds too complicated.  I just look to see who has an (I) by their name and vote for the other candidate. ;o)

Scenario #1:  All the non-incumbents are Satan-worshiping sycophants who want to remove liquor from the town and construct a demonic temple.
  • You vote for the non-incumbents automatically.

Scenario #2:  All the non-incumbents want to make it law that you can only mate once every seven years, remove liquor from the town, and kill all the firstborn children.
  • You vote for the non-incumbents automatically.

Scenario #3:  All the non-incumbents are savage flesh-eating simians,  who communicate by grunting and want to rid our town of liquor.
  • You vote for the non-incumbents automatically.

Brilliant, really.  I admire your fortitude, sir.
