Presidential Race: Hostilities Renewed
Those of you with better judgement have undoubtedly avoided this thread, which seems to articulate the bitterness of this campaign into one place. I thought reading the Presidential debates was painful, but obviously this reporter needs to work on his pain threshold.
To summarise the thread: It starts off with Supersoulty challenging President Joe Republic to declare his intention to run for re-election and debate Governor John Ford. Next comes perhaps the most intelligent reply in the thread from Philip: "Shut up, you're annoying."
The thread then descends downhill into backbitting exchanges between John Ford and Vice-President Porce, including what has to be one of the more entertaining conspiracy theories I have read in a while. Suffice to say, I know that it's total and utter garbage, but its fun reading nonetheless.
The most amusing thing about the entire charade is that the Republic announcement was imminent, and likely before the end of Thursday. Given that the Republic campaign cannot be seen as bowing to Supersoulty's political stunt, the announcement will have to be delayed.
John Ford continued to look like a man on a mission of trying to get elected - if he continues on like this, he probably will. If you throw enough mud it sticks after all, but if he vilifies the President continually, you can rest assured that many Republic supporters will simply slip away after the election or just refuse to play ball with him. Being the best candidate on forum affairs is one thing, but there has to be a forum left to apply those policies to.
Nobody came out of this exchange looking good: For the most part, Joe Republic refused to engage the debate, which was undoubtedly the best idea. Another undoubted beneficiary of this mess will be Ilikeverin/PBrunsel. This paper has now come to the opinion that they are the possibility of them making the last round is so strong that it will poll not only on a John Ford v. Joe Republic match-up, but also Verin v. Ford and Verin v. Republic in this coming weekend's polling.
