what to say to a candidate who wants your vote from now on:

I just stole this from bradblog, a reply to brad's article on the busby election. Charlie, I think your pledge is brilliant. if I have offended by stealing it, let me know and I'll delete it.



So, you're going to run? Are you ready to sign the Pledge?

THE HONEST ELECTION CANDIDATE'S PLEDGE

1. I pledge to work hard to make sure that every citizen who votes for me has their vote counted for me.

2. I will not concede any contest I am involved in until I know that every absentee and provisional ballot has been counted.

3. I shall make sure that non-partisan exit polling is conducted.

4. If the final results of counted votes is different from the exit polling by more than the margin of error, I will demand and force a recount.

5. I shall exhaust every possible legal recourse to assure that every vote cast for me by a legal citizen is counted for me.

6. If asked to "concede" I shall respond: "Only when every vote cast for me has been counted -- to do anything less would be a violation of the Constitution."

7. If I am called a "sore loser" or a "waster of taxpayer time" I will reply that: "Democracy is never a waste of time and wanting to see Democratic Government working is never a bad cause."

If so, I'm ready to write you a $25 check. It looks like my $25 to Busby was wasted money, just like my donation to Hacket and to Kerry.

Let me know. When I see your signed pledge, I'll PayPal your campaign the money.

Charlie
