Although I'm sure your comment here was in jest, nominating females for senate positions just for the sake of gender equality isn't something that I think we should be doing - no offense to Mrs. K, mind. Gender shouldn't be a criterion for the Senate.

So, any links to examples of the nominees' debating skills? Or is everyone expected to do his or her own homework this time?

I wish I could get some one to do my homework. Not to drop a dime, but the dude I have in mind (who I consider more than capable as senator) I'm having problems shitting out examples.

I already nominated him. You can second him.

Edit: Anyhow, Sonnenburg's a long-time ASVS debator, maybe one of the ASVSers can cover his highlights (maybe he's on Dalton's site.. I'm pretty sure he is anyhow.)

He's got his own website here, I believe: link - tons of great stuff I've found... very neat.

There's also the fact of this. Anyoen who can make Voyager entertaining has to be woth Senatorial membership

OK, Surlethe and Kamakazie Sith both have their histories posted in the other nominations thread. As far as I'm concerned, Surlethe hasn't been officially seconded, but Cmdrwilkens' double nomination counts as a second. Kamakazie Sith has been seconded, but Bear did it after nominating someone.

I can't comment on Chuck because of a conflict of interest, but I think his posting history here will speak for itself. He's also been seconded.

IP and Mrs Kendall have not been seconded yet. Bear, you've both nominated a person and seconded a person in this thread. You can only do one.

actually I'm withdrawing my nomination based on your comments earlier, sorry I should have made that clear.

Okay, thanks Bear. As things stand:

Nominees:

Surlethe
Sonnenburg
Kamakazie Sith

Nominated, but not seconded:

Illuminatus Primus

I will absolutely support a nomination for Mr. Sonnenburg. Excellent choice, and I'm glad to see him slumming here more often!

Cut the chatter.

An "aye" for Chuck!

Stravo · Post by **Stravo** » 2006-03-01 09:42am

Count my rather insignificant voice in support of Chuck.

Post by **Dalton** » 2006-03-01 11:59am

OK, time for a vote thread.
