Title and other titles in this board pretty much sum it up. Sometimes the answer is “no.” And this time, the voters said “no.” Has nothing to do with how campaign was run, has nothing to do with getting message out or nominating the most “electable” candidate. Your message was recieved loud and clear, and the electorate said “NO!” So suck it, lads. If you don’t understand this post, then I will appear again in four years and tell ye the same. Cheers!

OK, so here’s my idea for the Reader. The charge this year is gonna be eight bucks for returning members, 16 for new ones, yes? How 'bout let’s make it five and ten bucks plus, say, 50 cents per OP. You know, to get people thinking about it. And you be rich – RICH, I tell you! What say you? ---
