We want to be accountable throughout our campaign and will be willing to answer any questions which our electorate wishes to ask us. We will endeavour to respond to any query within one rotation of the earth on it's axis.

Joanna (Princess of Darkness, Blower of Bubbles) ACE wrote about 1 hour later.

We both see accountability as important- we want to represent *you*, and we can only do this by hearing from you.

Die scum!

BB does this mean you are standing against us. Or has somebody else grabbed you for their campaign.

I agree with BB, although I call him scum also...

You all know I'm going to win...

Do we?

Horrah the first question.

I am helping Peregrin's campaign.
DD, are you sure you'd want to be a Virtual President of America? All other Presidents of America haven't exactly been particularly respectable people - with the single exception of Abraham Lincoln, who wasn't sure his head was screwed on, so he decided to weigh it down with a huge heavy hat. (Or that's my theory - can't explain the beard though.)

I don't think its right for you to come here and wish us dead, Bluebottle...

Yeah but all the great Presidents died in Office. Lincoln, Kennedy. So thanks for the vote of support BB.

Oh okay. Thanks, then, BB

Who said anything about anything being dead? I just said "die scum", so obviously I just want you to dye all scum a nice colour like blue, as scum that's brown isn't nice to look at

Interested campaign slogan you two have there.

By the way, why have you got two campaign headquarters DD? One here and one nearly-identical one at http://www.h2g2.com/A369623 .

I think this looks very suspicious. Either you're planning some kind of cover-up, or you're incredibly incompetent. Or both.

(BTW, to cover myself, I'm not suggesting that I'm NOT planning any kind of cover-up myself, or that I'm NOT incompetent. I may well be both, I'm not denying it)

Psst! Bluebottle! I've wired it all up, now run for it! I've got the plunger here...

*Runs for it*
Duck for Victory!

Erm DD! As you appear to have set this up as your campaign HQ I will link to here from the main Prez page! May I just take this opportunity to point out to you all that the title is Virtual Prez of h2g2... the USA is only a small cog in the wheel of time!

[Attention all. I am instructed to send you this message from Pr. C. Tonks. Please read and respond.]

Hi all! Yep, the BigC here!
I have a question: what's your policy on space-borne vehicles?

[Please respond ASAP. Thankyou.]

Space Borne vehicles are the means to our future. If elected I will pressurise TPTB to get the first Researcher to do a life link from Mars before the end of this century. Sooner if possible. Also I believe that all H2G2 researhers should be equipped with Sub-Etha Sens-O-Matics as standard it would sure speed up this whole SETI business what with 50,000+ of us scanning the heavens.

[Pr. C. Tonks thanks you for your satisfactory answer.]

What is your policy regarding pyjamas?
