Once again I have been thinking, you know that burning smell that just permeated your nose, that was me.

The poling place must have a link back to this thread to be considered a legal poling place. > 3. Poling will go on for 5 days, I figure that is usually the longest a thread’s interest will last. At that time, the amount of posts ummm votes the candidates have will determine the said winner. > 4. Underhanded manuevering is encouraged. > \*\* Vote for iampunha’s shirtless platform (and no, damnit, I’m not linking to my pics on the SDPP AGAIN. Ask around or do a search!) Also running: Spoofe Bo Diddly - of the “Straight Dope Party” Jester - who is sitting in for the apparently abducted steeljaw, of the “I Wanna Live in that Big Ass House Party” Tripler - from the “Damn Good Third Choice Party” Ms. Shirley Ujest - of the “What the Hell, My Hat’s in the Ring Too Party.” dpr - from “The True Alternative to Staid Politicians Party” If I win I promise to ban Acksiom . . . wait, he’s already been banned . . . If I win I promise to post to threads about how annoying this whole fucking election is . . . no, wait, I already DID that. If I win I promise to flirt even more on the boards. Or not, depending on what those who vote for me want. I’m a flexible kind of guy:) I also promise to stop posting so derned much . . . but as I currently have a ppd ratio of something above ten, that shouldn’t be a problem. I also promise to break at least one campaign promise. ---

I’ll vote for anyone who promises not to add another line to their sig if they win this thing. If no one can promise that, my vote goes to dpr. 😉 ---

Errrrrrrr…iam, you might want to examine point 2) of debworld’s rules: 1. The poling place must have a link back to this thread to be considered a legal poling place. Yeah. That’s a bit of a problem, just itching for a remedy. Oh well. I vote Jester. Duh. And Demo, I’ll promise it, but you know how good a politician’s word is…define “new line” ---

Roger Ramjet? He was my invisible friend, circa 1967 or so. Hey, can we have write-in…well, type-in votes in this election? ---

Demo - how often do you see me use a sig? So that’s one vote in the bag. My platform? Fun for all and focus on individual responsiblity so no lawss or dictatorship. Whimsical conversation is always good as is a good sense of humour. Of course if I’m not elected I’ll still deliver the same thing so you may as well give me a silly title too. ---

I’m casting my vote for \*\* Satan \*\* but only because I want to hear it announced on the television again and again, “The following program is being preempted by the President’s Address, we bring you… Satan!” Maybe we could have the Church Lady have to say it each time, so it echoes. ---

Using my Patented Official Decision-Making Method (aka Eeny Meeny Miney Moe), I chose **Jester**. I hope I punched the ballot correctly. If there’s a vote for Buchanan in the final outcome, it’s my fault. ---

Vote Byzantine. Why? It’s a vote for sex, for acerbic comments and basically leaving everything else up to you. Want to run your own show? Than vote for me. I don’t give a shit. Hey, how many other candidates can really say that and mean it? Vote Byzantine. If I were you, I would! 🙂 ---

I vote for the sexiest hunk o’ man alive, **SPOOFE Bo Diddly** , along with his ultra-sexy (and often naked) running mate **Psycho Kitten**. And everyone who votes for me will get an intoxicated midget to play with. They’ll even giggle if you poke them in the tummy. ---

I vote for Pat Buchanan. NO WAIT! I made a MISTAKE! I’m STUPID!!! ahem. I meant to vote for SPOOFE Bo Diddly and the drunken midget platform. I really wanted an Ewok when I was 6, I guess this is the closest I’ll get. ---

I’m voting for myself. Hopefully this won’t be like ATT elections last March, and I’ll be one of several people who vote for me. Right now, as things stand: spoof:3 Jester:1 dpr:3 Satan:1 Silo:1 iampunha:1 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vote-here-for-sdmb-president/40793.md?page=2)
