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.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

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 :P

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.

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

Count my rather insignificant voice in support of Chuck.
