interesting Analysis Tony
it is certainly a good possibility that both Graham and i could be elected
i wonder though
what is the possibility in your opinion that neither of us will be elected ?
hmmm regards
Steve
My prediction is that Graham will get the highest number of votes, the fight between you two will be well worth the money. I dont see anyone else on the ballot that stands out like you two, also you both are straight like an arrow. If neither one of you selected, I will shave my head and then post a picture of me in my Police Recruit uniform holding an Atlanta Journal/ or a playboy.
actually though
on the old board all previous elections results were shown in a link
i once studied all of the past results and it was clear that 70% of all elected candidates came from the first three spots on the ballot which is in alphabetical order(both CCC and CTF elections)
so the vast majority of moderators have had last names ending with B's and C 's rather then say S's or T's
one year i convinced Steve S to reverse the ballot to show it in reverse alphabetical listing and i bet him that the winners would still come from the top listed spots even though now the names will end in S 's T's R's etc rather then B,C D's etc
to try to prove me wrong he agreed to do it
guess what
4 of the 6x winners came from the first three spots(CTF included)
so after all of the campaigning ..all of the speeches..all of the chest pounding ,name calling and poll taking..
it could come down to something as simple and innocent as that
Historical Perspective Regards
Steve
Even if that is true, Graham would win and save my hair. Talking about History, you havent ran for moderator after I started visiting CCC. I would say go ahead and get ready for your winner smile.
yes ..my first run for high office
although i was nominated several times( i think 5) i always respectfully declined
why run now then you may ask(if you are not already bored to tears)
its not to prove a point or to thwart anyone else's lofty goals
its something some one here pointed out to me not long ago
namely..he noticed that the ones making the most remarks about moderating ..rarely themselves run for the job

You know about the friends system, right? I have nothing against any of the current mods, but I am ready for some new faces.
friend system?
not sure i know what you mean Tony
as for me i have some old friends here still
take Fern for example
a more interesting and intelligent man you cannot find
the problem with Fern though as a friend is
at the first sign of trouble he will run for the hills ..away from you..as fast as he can
its ok though
i am used to it by now and do not expect his vocal support
a hug to him
on my own as usual regards
Steve
In a friend system you will let your friends slide and moderate your enemies. I was joking of course, you should be consistent regardles of what you do, and that's my only request to all the mods.

aaah ok .. got it
one thing i always liked about election time around here
threads like this which normally would be instantly deleted/locked/edited/pushed or pulled ..get to remain up for a bit
not so good for getting votes to moderate too heavily just right now
Steve
PS..that is just a joke

one thing i like about you Chris
you are right in there
right in your face kinda guy
now take George Speight
he is coming at me pretty good with both barrels blazing
he is standing shoulder to shoulder with his friend because he feels his friend is being unfairly attacked
i have been guilty of doing the same thing here in my day..defending friends i feel were unfairly set upon(of course when i make those sorts of posts they are quickly treated to total deletion - with no pre or post warning)
George is the type of guy who will be there for you when the going gets tough
gotta respect and admire that in a man
if i were in battle ..in war.. i could think of no better men to have in the fox hole with me then you or George

If we are not prepared to fight for what is right we are but hollow shells.
No offence is intended to those in the links btw. It only illustrates a point that really needs addressed. I hope you concur with this point of view.

i can see your point but i can also see the need for some to make posts like that from time to time
i have been guilty of those sorts of posts myself and to be honest i have also been annoyed at times when i see them
besides you made your point with humor rather then with insults
i am sure no one will take offense at that
