WHAT??? So Bro. Haney couldn't get back in this thing? What was the fuss about? And by the way, what about the term limits? Wasn't he out to start with or am I confused?

There could always be a place for a write in vote- but this is all speculating and I do see the importance of being able to choose, I just think PM already knew and could have said something.

Wow.

How's it going, Baron? I've been forced to take a vacation from my AFF vacation. This is too good!!!!

Watching the blood letting. Like a general sitting on hos mount surveying the damage of the battle and wondering how many walking wounded there will be when this is over.

From my understanding, they've always done it this way to avoid campaigning.....which goes on anyway. And can I just add my disappointment that I didn't get any votes.

Nomination is by written ballot.

Then the brother did the appropriate thing. It would have been presumptious and unneccessary to withdraw his name from an election he hadn't been nominated for.

Thanks for the clarification.

I believe Bernard would serve best.

Elizabeth what would you suggest that wouldn't make him look arrogant?

Yes that is part of the problem we do not fully understand.

We are only hearing second hand,

imo- if this is how the voting is done then for a nominee to withdraw should not cause any problems.

Which makes me wonder if we are speculating about Mooney withdrawing causing an uproar? If its a normal process why would anyone get upset?

Somebody just called me and told me that Bro. Haney couldn't have been re-elected because of the term limits. Isn't that true?
