The race has really tightened up in the last few days as votes
trickle in. Stone and Edwards are tied for second, ONE VOTE
behind Day.
Voting will end on July 18th, or One week after the next to
last vote arrives, whichever comes last.
To recap, I'm letting the net decide who wins the 1982 New
York Governor's race in my Champions campaign. Your Choices are:
"A New Day for New York" Linda Day, Democrat
"Democracy. One Man. One Vote." Robert "Bobby" Stone, Republican
"Vote for the Lone Wolf." Adam Edwards, Independent
Information on their positions on issues was posted June 16.
To answer some other questions:
THE WOLF
A number of people have voted for Edwards because of his
wolf. For those who were interested, Vulcan is a full-grown (110
pounds) male, silvery-gray, timber wolf. Edwards found the
orphaned pup in Alaska in 1975. His parents and siblings had
been killed in a helicopter & assault rifle style wolf hunt.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNORS
Considering the number of supervillians with heated opinions
on the race, it was suggested I should list LGs as well. Then
again, who ever pays attention to the LG?
RUNOFFS
This is going to be a very close race; the vote is currently
split 35% to 32% to 32%, so it's unlikely anyone will get a
majority. I hate to ask everyone to vote again in a runoff, and
I did say whoever won this race would become Governor. Flames on
this topic cheerfully accepted. Maybe I should combine a run-off
with a vote on whether to have a run-off. :-)
