OK, as the self-appointed Karl Rove of the Sense, Reason and Solidarity vote I'm calling an urgent strategy meeting.
Lets face it, things are not going as we had hoped. In
primary 1 there is still hope, despite SCoates' devious plans to split our vote. If I exhort my electors to throw their vote behind Sozobe instead, we might still beat both Gus and the rightwingers come the Convention. But in
primary 2 things are looking bleak. Dag, our charming young VP candidate, appears to be a complete non-starter. Unfortunately, she has turned out to be an electoral liability rather than an asset. That sounds harsh, but we have to face up to the truth. Only Georgeob1 and Zippy are doing equally badly, and nobody knows who Zippy is while George doesn't need any votes, he'll just stage a putsch afterwards. To be prepared to defend democracy when he does, we need two strong candidates. And as it is, it looks like only one man can stop the fearsome Gus/Kicky machine, especially now Lord Ellpus has joined it. He's the surprise candidate, but he's out in front and let's face it: he's the best.
Farmerman.
Plus, he'll go well with the safe lifestock theme. We have no other choice. To stop the right and the threat to innocent farm animals, vote Sozobe and Farmerman. Do it for the sheep. You know it makes sense.
