I just want to apologise for my behaviour during this election campaign. I don't know if it's just the whole politics thing or some deeply buried competitive spirit within me or whatever, but I feel like I've been a real as$ of late and for that I am sorry.
What makes it even sadder is I never really had any chance of winning in the first place, I mean Estayland... he's just too darn likeable - how am I supposed to compete with that?
I've also become angry at things that normally I wouldn't, I mean REALLY angry... on the point of hate even (I swear however, that I wasn't responsible for those letter bombs... honest) - and that's scary.
All in all this senate race has brought out the worst out in me, as such this will not just be the first but last time I ever run for senate as well. Besides, judging from the vote tally at present I think everyone has figured out by now that I would've made a terrible senator.
I do make good tacos though apparently. ;D
Anyway, again sorry for my behaviour. I urge those that haven't voted yet to vote for Estay to make certain he gets to keep his present job. God forbid he was ever in any danger of losing it however.
That's enough raving from me. I'll man the mobile taco/campaign stand until the elections are over - if just for a laugh - and then I'll go back to doing what I do best....
Nothing. ;D

Actually, the title is "Though never lovable, he is the most likeable of 10000 Islands" or something to that effect.
ND: Although we differ with political ideaology, Ive always respected you and Alf when we've had our debates. Im just glad you're not "Im right, and you're an idiot for believing that." Trust me... those people piss me off.
Please don't automatically rule out another senate race. If I would have judged how good of a delegate I would be by my vote tally, then my first delegate race would have told me I would suck. Also, going back to the election results, I beat Glu in my first reelection 2:1, but he eventually got to the Co9 after persistence and running unopposed (which helps a lot! ). Also, he beat me in the delegate race in a rematch.
It is hard to beat an incumbent in any political realm unless he really sucks. Don't let yourself be down about it.

Though Never Lovable He is the Most Likable of the 10000 Islands X 5 X 200+

lol. Hold your words ND! A terrible senator? I think not. You have good moral fibre, and character. certainly up there with Estay as one of the most likeable in the Islands. Still, it has been a regrettable week, and for that i must apologise also i suppose.

ND, you ran a good campaign and everyone gained from what you had to offer.
Heck, I lost my first Delegate race, heck that was my first political race.

Good show, ND! Whatever this race may have suggested about it not being the right time for you just yet--and that's your judgment call, not for any of the rest of us to say--your words here prove that the day for you providing greater leadership isn't all that far off. Well spoken, friend! Have a bunch of tacos and margaritas on the house!

Need to post here and say I'm sorry as well. While I don't think I'm solely responsible (it takes two to argue and all that yeah?) I think I'm responsible for quite a bit of the bad things that happened. Anyhow, I'm sorry for that. Things got out of hand... and I weren't even a candidate... that sort of sucks.
so I'm sorry.
