4:45pm:
The Weirdo called in today to talk with Mindy about the race. People in Coliflordia (the State of Confusion - because anything can happen) are running around screaming today, so as Lt. Gov., he is already very busy. He and the Gov. are trying to stop this new trend, because it is getting on their nerves, making it hard for them to think.
The Weirdo's supporters are indirectly supporting JudyG by supporting him. But The Weirdo hasn't really talked to Judy Gumsmacker yet.

Continuing Live Coverage
6:35pm:
Jeanette McCurdy from iCarly called in and was quite excited about the iGoToJapan show. She voted for The Weirdo, because she loves ice cream.
6:05pm:
Nathan Cress, Freddy from iCarly, called in and talked about iGoToJapan, Nov 8th at 8pm on Nickelodeon. But they didn't get to go to Japan; the set designers built Japan in a parking lot. He was going for The Weirdo, but then thought he was too weird. So he thinks Judy Gumsmacker is the perfect candidate.
5:55pm:
JudyG called in to explain that she can relate to the Hillbilly Hillside citizens via a song and dance number.
5:45pm:
Hillbilly Hillside citizens live in shoe boxes and cannot vote because they cannot get online. They need more houses and stuff; either shoe boxes or real houses. Samwich Sam endorses The Weirdo.
5:05pm:
Special Agent Emily is manning the exit polls on AbsolutelyMindy.com and while The Weirdo was ahead on those polls, JudyG is gaining on him currently. The voters would like to hear more on the economy and on the octopus ink. Some people believe in the plentiful breadcrumbs, others are worried about the plastic eggs, as they are only readily available around Easter. Most people don't like the idea of keep the baby teeth as the currency.
If there is a tie, there will be a Duncan Hines Brownie cook-off (or something like that).
4:55pm:
The Weirdo's campaign HQ is crazy busy. He says he keeps cool under pressure, and agrees that name calling is a bad idea. Has JudyG said how she is going to pay for her promises? Yet taking ink from octopi is cruelty. will he be eating on octo-pie tonight to celebrate? He is looking for 100-200 votes. He wishes JudyG. the best of luck.
4:40pm:
JudyG on the phone now. Thinks the voting public should get out there and vote. If she becomes the governor of Coliflordia, she will help everyone live healthy, happy lives with every need fulfilled. She would make sure that the lactose intolerant would be on the same level as the lactose tolerant. She will not call The Weirdo names, because he is a very nice person.
4:05pm:
On the phone with Susan Goodman, author of See How They Run: Campaign Dreams, Election Schemes, and the Race to the White House by Susan Goodman and Elwood Smith. She is concerned with the voter turnout, but she agrees that there has been lots of healthy debate. She remarks that in the past many candidates have used insults to get the votes out. Potbellied mutton-headed cucumber was one such insult used in the past. She thinks that an "honorable campaign" is best, however.
She also told a story about a raucous party held by Andrew Jackson. She is also the author of The Truth About Poop. She says that at one time there was the Free Pony and Ice Cream Political Party.
Voter fraud still exists. People try to steal elections from others, but hopefully this wouldn't happen in Coliflordia, would it? People could try to vote more than once or vote even if they are older than 13.
Every family should have a bill of rights. All over the country, voting is different. At first no paper, just spoken. Then paper, then the Australian ballot (a secret ballot). Then onto discussion of the electoral college, but no electoral college in the governor's race....if there is a tie, there will be a recount.
On www.seehowtheyrunbook.com, Susan is collecting messages for the next president.
3:50pm:
Phlash Phelps (The Human Electoral Map Quest?) from XM 60's on 6 states that Snoopy won over on that 60's station, beating Alvin. The Weirdo and JudyG are running neck and neck. Lots of population in the middle of the country that could play a big part. He's done exit polls asking which exit they live off of the interstate. He knows the exits well, but maybe we know better the 85-95 route that we drive between Atlanta and DC...
[Ed. note: Phlash speaks to fast for me! Chloe agrees that he is a "fast talker".]
3:35pm:
The Weirdo is NOT wearing his green sweatshirt. He is nervous about the polls, because he is trailing JudyG. "Vote thirty people for me!" He states that the official language in Coliflordia is gibberish because it is easy to speak. (Ed. note: I am too old to understand the conversation between Mindy and The Weirdo in Gibberish -- no translator available.) He doesn't think his name is an more of a liability than Judy Gumsmacker's.

Gumsmacker will end her campaign with cake!
Win, lose or draw, the Gumsmacker camp will celebrate the end of a
hard-fought campaign with a lactose tolerant red velvet cake at HQs
tonight! "Whatever happens, it's been fun!" quips Judy G.

Continuing Live Coverage
7:30pm:
The Weirdo called in to the Real Tall Tree to get in touch with the swing voters. The Weirdo promises to reduce the tree-cutting down in Coliflordia, but that lumberjacks are people too. Ice cream, Milkless Brownies and World Peace are part of his promises. He may call into the Animal Farm tomorrow. The Weirdo might kiss some baby animals, but not the llama. Everybody should get out and vote, but especially if they are voting for The Weirdo.
6:30pm:
Quincy is undecided. He is lactose intolerant. Who should he vote for? He's great at karate. He says to Mindy "I don't understand a word you are saying."
[Ed. note: Which is what I am sure I heard Chloe tell her earlier. I think Mindy was off-air for too many days (or maybe not enough?).]
5:55pm:
JudyG has been accused of using "shrimp-boat tactics" by luring the voters in by impressing them with her knowledge (she has memorized the presidents - and sang them for us). She worries that using plastic eggs will leave us with too few eggs for Easter.
Kaitlyn is all for lactose tolerance and will vote for JudyG.
David will vote for JudyG because he likes gum.
5:25pm:
David Cook (winner of Season 7 of American Idol) believes in free ice cream (saturdays and Sunday) and milkless brownies, and endorses The Weirdo for governor of Coliflordia.
4:05pm:
Cathy Travis, author of Constitution Translated for Kids, called in. The Weirdo first claimed that he didn't go on a $150K shopping trip, then admitted that he would sell the clothes on eBay for $200K to raise money for Coliflordia. Cathy suggested that The Weirdo get his grassroots network going. Anyone of any age can campaign, even if they cannot vote. The Weirdo encourages everyone to vote, but has not thrown in the towel. It is important that we support democracy. Cathy Travis has endorsed plastic eggs as the official currency.
Lots of talk about elections, government and more.
3:25pm:
JudyG encourages people to vote and thanks those that have voted. She wants to make the people's dreams and hopes to become reality. JudyG. believes that the ducks will help reduce the number of breadcrumbs, helping to limit the over-availability of currency. JudyG. says it doesn't matter what is covering your eyes, even those with glasses, contacts, and patches. She will provide bottled water so the pirates will no longer have to drink the eye of Coliflordia. "A vote for Judy Gumsmacker is a vot for a comfortable, chocolate-filled tummy.

The Tree Party
Robbie spoke to Serious D about today's events. Serious D. explained that he had to withdraw because he did not meet the age requirements.
Serious D. threw his support out to the Cow Party because he believes that The Weirdo will help the trees (and because deep down we're all weirdos).
Robbie would like to hear from The Weirdo to hear that he will support the Tree Party.

Live Campaign Trail Coverage
6:43pm:
Andrew Katz (son of Alan Katz) has been out campaigning for The Weirdo. He thinks the name "The Weirdo" is a good one since it reflects who he really is. But it might not work well for foreign policy. People are ready for The Weirdo to be governor. The signs are invisible in Ghosttown, so not a whole lot going on there.
6:40pm:
William has exciting news that he is throwing his hat in as the candidate of the Greek Myth party. But it is too late....(Does Greek yogurt have lactose?)
6:30pm:
Alan Katz called in and says that he woud vote more than once. How many bathrooms are there in the White House? The wrong answer is 15.
6:10pm:
ScribbeJim called in with concerns about the lactose free and chocolate stances of the candidates. His big concern is that "I L-O-V-E L-A-C-T-O-S-E F-R-E-E C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E M-I-L-K" is just TOO Long. ScribbleJim can't give up his dairy, and he can't give up his chocolate milk. Does The Weirdo really mean "ice cream" or is he talking "Italina Ice" or "Popsicles" Jim loves his brownies and is really not sure about the milkless ones. Jim wants clarification on their dairy and chocolate stances. He can't vote for milkless brownies and wants to be sure that the candidates are not excluding those that are pro-dairy. What would it do to Jim's livelihood if the lyrics would have to change? The band would have to rework the song, and it would be the end of the band.
[Ed. note: Jim is too old to vote. But he could endorse.]
5:58pm:
Emma, Octopus campaign manager, was nervous at the beginning. She thinks that JudyG. handled the questions well and is ready for her Katie Couric interview. Emma thinks JudyG has the upper hand in the debate. "Vote for Judy Gumsmacker. Weirdo, that's Weird, NO! (or something like that)."
5:50pm:
Jack supports his candidate's stance of not wasting band-aids, but he agrees with JudyG's use of band-aids to protect bruises. If a stuffed animal would need a band-aid, he would suggest sewing it or using vegetarian duct tape. Jack lives in Pennsylvania, not Virginia.
5:00pm:
The Debate, see the other post.
4:24pm:
Emma thinks it was noble for Serious D to withdraw but suggests that if Serious D has a younger sibling, they could run. Mindy thinks maybe it is too late for that and that The Weirdo will have to look out for the members of the Tree Party. Emma still pledges to reduce the paper waste.
4:10pm:
Serious D. called in to talk about the Joe Lumberjacks of the state. More trees cut down is better for the tree people and also provides more oxygen. On the record, Mindy asked him how old he is: 16 years old. Serious D has now withdrawn from the ticket because of his ineligibility and has now endorsed The Weirdo.
4:00pm:
Iconic Joe Lumberjack called in and expressed surprise at the formation of the Tree Party and their motto. He loves his squirrel friends, but if he doesn't have a job, that would be awful. He is endorsing The Weirdo. He claims that JudyG would put him out of a job. Because she likes the squirrels and stuffed animals. Joe Lumberjack is not registered to vote. He feels honored to have become a star in the past 10 minutes.
3:45pm:
Emma called in and commented that she isn't sure about "The Tree Party" entry. And that Robbie might be jealous of the campaign. Mindy replied that Robbie is concerned for the people that live in trees in Coliflordia.
Emma believes that less paper should be made and that would show more respect for the tree party. No more post-its, a greener approach would be appropriate.
3:30pm
A new party formed last night on Robbie Schaefer's "Real Tall Tree." A mysterious caller asked where the two parties stood on trees. Serious D decided he would run under the "Tree Party."
The Weirdo is wearing comfortable shoes as he walks along the campaign trail. The Weirdo thinks it will be hard for Serious D, the Tree Party candidate to get into the race so late in the game. The Weirdo is looking out for "Joe Lumberjack" since trees don't have brains. The Weirdo doesn't agree with the statement "trees are people too."
The Weirdo has cracked a deal with the Easter Bunny who would provide Coliflordia an abundance of plastic eggs to use in place of real eggs. This would solve the cracking and smelling problems. Having the Easter Bunny provide plastic eggs would give the Easter Bunny practice.
The Weirdo is prepared for the upcoming debate.
Election coverage will resume on Monday.

The Weirdo is prepared for the upcoming debate.
Election coverage will resume on Monday.
Town Hall Debate
Special Agent Emily described the rules of the debate, such as No mudslinging.
First Question (from Emily of NC):
What kind of animal would you choose as the official state animal
JudyG: A duck, since that is the shape of the state.
The Weirdo: A chicken, since no other state has that animal. (Delaware - state bird is Blue Hen Chicken)
Second Question (from Jeremy of Denver, CO):
It is important to have a clean campaign. It appears JudyG to have the cleanest room.
The Weirdo: How do we know her room is the cleanest? He states that his room is pretty clean.
JudyG: Nobody has seen it so how would they know. She states her room is pretty clean as well.
(They discussed storage bins.)
The Wierdo says clean is nothing on the floor and no dirt on the floor.
JudyG states again that he is a nice person. She says her room may not be sparkly, but it is clean.
Third question (from Clayton from Dayton):
Do you smack your gum loud?
JudyG: Yes, I smack it very loudly.
The Weirdo: It is very disruptive to everyone in the room if you smack loudly.
JudyG: She doesn't smack gum when she isn't chewing it. She respects her friends, asking them if it is okay to smack her gum.
[BREAK]
Fourth question (from Andrew):
What are you doing for the people who play music in Coliflordi?
The Weirdo: He is going to make the national anthem ... lost train of thought.
JudyG: She is going to make a place where unrecognized musicians can go play music, especailly if they play "Disco Duck"
The Wierdo: He is going to change the national anthem to "Poop Goes the Weasel."
JudyG: What if some Coliflordians don't like that song or the moms don't approe of it.
The Weirdo: He could take a poll and doesn't feel there is anything too wrong with the song.
?
JudyG: Democracy means how the people vote.
The Weirdo: Democracy is you letting the people of the state have a vote.
Fifth question (from Ali in Austin):
The Weirdo, I heard a rumor that you were going on a $150K shopping spree. But I only see a green hoodie.
The Weirdo: That is rubbish, not a word of it is true. His mom buys all his clothes.
JudyG: It is not a good decision to spend $150K on clothes for a radio election.
Sixth question (from Chloe in Atlanta, GA):
If you cut down trees, the more paper you have. Then if you use more paper, then you have more trees get cut down.
JudyG: I will make sure that there is less paper used. And they will cut down less trees. And the tree party will be very happy with this.
The Weirdo: He will still cut down some tree, otherwise Joe Lumberjack will go without a job. He won't go overboard with cutting down trees. He would sent the woodland creatures some place safe.
Seventh question (from Joe Lumberjack in Montana):
Do you advocate the cutting down of trees from helicopters?
The Weirdo: It would take a lot of money to create a giant axe. And may take jobs away form lumberjacks.
JudyG: She would find jobs for lumberjacks in factories to recycle paper.
Eighth question:
Honk if you love Joe Lumberjack.
The Weirdo: Honk
JudyG: Honk
Ninth question (from Jack the campaign manager of the Cow Party):
Cost of importing octopi?
JudyG: She won't take away their ink all the way. They will be in a humongous tank that matches their natural ink. She will be taking away their extra ink and save them from sushi restaurants.
The Weirdo: Doesn't eat sushi or any type of seafood.
JudyG: Of course they have extra ink.
Tenth question:
Honk if you love Joe Lumberjack.
The Weirdo: Honk
JudyG: Honk
[BREAK]
Eleventh question (from Maya in St. Louis):
Do you believe in the use of the band-aids when you don't need it?
The Weirdo: He does not stand for extra band aid use, but for stuffed animals with stuffing leaking it could be useful.
JudyG: She does not stand for wasting band-aids. She will provide band-aids for dolls and stuffed animals that need them.
The Weirdo: Supports band-aids for bruises.
JudyG: Supports band-aids for bruises. Believes it cushions bruises and causes less pain.
Is it okay to cross state lines to get the desired brand:
The Weirdo: Believes in brand choice, even if it means crossing state lines. He suggests choosing the cheapest.
If someone needs a band aid available in only another state, then they should get it as log as it is needed.
Government subsidized:
The Weirdo: Thinks that money should be used for other things.
JudyG: Free band-Aids by AFLAC for anyone who needs it.
The Weirdo: How will you find the money for this?
JudyG: The AFLAC duck and I are very close and he has agreed to support me in this. A free box of band-aids for anyone who needs it.
Twelfth question (from Frightfest Fiona):
What will you do for free food?
The Weirdo: Stands for free ice cream and milkless brownies on Saturdays and Sundays.
JudyG: She is supportive of lactose-intolerant people. She will provide cars for free that are edible. As well as free chocolate bars.
The Weirdo: But chocolate bars have milk.
JudyG: Only milk chocolate ones do?
Thirteenth question (from ??):
What are your homework policies?
JudyG: She and her colleagues are working on a helmet that you put on yearly that sinks all the knowledge from the year into your mind. Your brain will absorb more and more. The machine also has a reverse, so if you want to get rid of knowledge it will painlessly with not side-effects take this out of your head.
The Weirdo: He is against the helmet. what if the helmet had a glitch or fell into the hands of evil people an d put false knowledge into your head. He is completely against homework. The hours in school should be enough.
Fourteenth question (from David in NJ):
Will you accept all pronunciations of tomato?
The Weirdo: Full freedom of sppech.
JudyG: Agrees with The Weirdo and will stand for wither pronunciation of this vegetable.
Fifteenth question:
Do you want some maple syrup after the show? Honk if you love Joe Lumberjack.
JudyG: Yes, yes, Honk
The Weirdo: As long as it is free. Honk
[Ed. Note: Camille says, "That was FUN!"]
First Question (from Emily of NC):
What kind of animal would you choose as the official state animal
JudyG: A duck, since that is the shape of the state.
The Weirdo: A chicken, since no other state has that animal. (Delaware - state bird is Blue Hen Chicken)
Second Question (from Jeremy of Denver, CO):
It is important to have a clean campaign. It appears JudyG to have the cleanest room.
The Weirdo: How do we know her room is the cleanest? He states that his room is pretty clean.
JudyG: Nobody has seen it so how would they know. She states her room is pretty clean as well.
(They discussed storage bins.)
The Wierdo says clean is nothing on the floor and no dirt on the floor.
JudyG states again that he is a nice person. She says her room may not be sparkly, but it is clean.
Third question (from Clayton from Dayton):
Do you smack your gum loud?
JudyG: Yes, I smack it very loudly.
The Weirdo: It is very disruptive to everyone in the room if you smack loudly.
JudyG: She doesn't smack gum when she isn't chewing it. She respects her friends, asking them if it is okay to smack her gum.
[BREAK]
Fourth question (from Andrew):
What are you doing for the people who play music in Coliflordi?
The Weirdo: He is going to make the national anthem ... lost train of thought.
JudyG: She is going to make a place where unrecognized musicians can go play music, especailly if they play "Disco Duck"
The Wierdo: He is going to change the national anthem to "Poop Goes the Weasel."
JudyG: What if some Coliflordians don't like that song or the moms don't approe of it.
The Weirdo: He could take a poll and doesn't feel there is anything too wrong with the song.
?
JudyG: Democracy means how the people vote.
The Weirdo: Democracy is you letting the people of the state have a vote.
Fifth question (from Ali in Austin):
The Weirdo, I heard a rumor that you were going on a $150K shopping spree. But I only see a green hoodie.
The Weirdo: That is rubbish, not a word of it is true. His mom buys all his clothes.
JudyG: It is not a good decision to spend $150K on clothes for a radio election.
Sixth question (from Chloe in Atlanta, GA):
If you cut down trees, the more paper you have. Then if you use more paper, then you have more trees get cut down.
JudyG: I will make sure that there is less paper used. And they will cut down less trees. And the tree party will be very happy with this.
The Weirdo: He will still cut down some tree, otherwise Joe Lumberjack will go without a job. He won't go overboard with cutting down trees. He would sent the woodland creatures some place safe.
Seventh question (from Joe Lumberjack in Montana):
Do you advocate the cutting down of trees from helicopters?
The Weirdo: It would take a lot of money to create a giant axe. And may take jobs away form lumberjacks.
JudyG: She would find jobs for lumberjacks in factories to recycle paper.
Eighth question:
Honk if you love Joe Lumberjack.
The Weirdo: Honk
JudyG: Honk
Ninth question (from Jack the campaign manager of the Cow Party):
Cost of importing octopi?
JudyG: She won't take away their ink all the way. They will be in a humongous tank that matches their natural ink. She will be taking away their extra ink and save them from sushi restaurants.
The Weirdo: Doesn't eat sushi or any type of seafood.
JudyG: Of course they have extra ink.
Tenth question:
Honk if you love Joe Lumberjack.
The Weirdo: Honk
JudyG: Honk
[BREAK]
Eleventh question (from Maya in St. Louis):
Do you believe in the use of the band-aids when you don't need it?
The Weirdo: He does not stand for extra band aid use, but for stuffed animals with stuffing leaking it could be useful.
JudyG: She does not stand for wasting band-aids. She will provide band-aids for dolls and stuffed animals that need them.
The Weirdo: Supports band-aids for bruises.
JudyG: Supports band-aids for bruises. Believes it cushions bruises and causes less pain.
Is it okay to cross state lines to get the desired brand:
The Weirdo: Believes in brand choice, even if it means crossing state lines. He suggests choosing the cheapest.
If someone needs a band aid available in only another state, then they should get it as log as it is needed.
Government subsidized:
The Weirdo: Thinks that money should be used for other things.
JudyG: Free band-Aids by AFLAC for anyone who needs it.
The Weirdo: How will you find the money for this?
JudyG: The AFLAC duck and I are very close and he has agreed to support me in this. A free box of band-aids for anyone who needs it.

What will you do for free food?

JudyG: Only milk chocolate ones do?
Thirteenth question (from ??):
What are your homework policies?
JudyG: She and her colleagues are working on a helmet that you put on yearly that sinks all the knowledge from the year into your mind. Your brain will absorb more and more. The machine also has a reverse, so if you want to get rid of knowledge it will painlessly with not side-effects take this out of your head.
The Weirdo: He is against the helmet. what if the helmet had a glitch or fell into the hands of evil people an d put false knowledge into your head. He is completely against homework. The hours in school should be enough.

Rebecca Roberts Offers Her Opinion.
Rebecca Roberts, host of the XM 130 POTUS '08 show 1600, 4pm ET.
Rebecca agrees that the economic problems in Coliflordia stems from the lack of readily available currency and agrees that the currency should be changed. (The Weirdo suggests eggs and JudyG suggests breadcrumbs.)
The Weirdo's idea for eggs appears to be a good one, but there are some details that need to be worked out, such as built in fragility.
JudyG's idea of breadcrumbs are good ones, but how much are they worth? Value based on what? The availability of breadcrumbs could send Coliflordia into a deeper crisis.
In the "Western" states, where you find more room for cows, the people are more likely to vote for cows. But those on the coasts are more favorable to the octopus party.
Both candidates have been honest, run clean campaigns, have done their homework.
Rebecca tells candidates to "Do Coliflordia proud!"

The Tree People
Aren't getting noticed. Robbie wants to know if someone will run for governor of Coliflordia under the Tree Party and to develop a platform. He's all for the cupcakes and party hats.
I'm afraid that if a new candidate enters the race, we would have to start a new poll, losing the votes that we have already accumulated for the current two candidates.
Platform issues:
Fewer Low Flying Airplanes
Eliminate Birds doing their business wherever
Protect Against Cold rain
More people in trees
Fewer trees to be cut down
More treehouses
Fewer squirrels chewing on trees
Everyone who joins the tree party should get a free pumpkin.
Potential slogan:
"don't hurt people, don't hurt trees, because trees are people too"
Serious D has been announced as the candidate for the Tree Party.
He has experience playing music, with the computer, some experience with trees - he never cuts them down. He has a rescued oak tree, but no real tall trees in his backyard. But he might move soon...to a place with real tall trees?

Live Election Coverage
Debate tomorrow at 5pm ET. An official town-hall debate. Listeners have to come up with the questions. Submit questions via xmkids@xmradio.com or in the comments or call Mindy.
Mindy spoke to The Weirdo on the phone. He pledges to have a photo up soon. The Weirdo promises World Peace and free ice cream and milkless brownies on Saturdays and Sundays. To help the economy, he will change the official currency to eggs from baby teeth. He will bring in chickens from other states by packing them into a mini-van.
Question for JudyG: Taking away octopi ink will leave them defenseless; is she promoting cruelty to octopi?
Judy Gumsmacker will provided a never-ending free supply (1000 pounds) of duct tape and no ducks will be harmed. Judy suggests that hard breadcrumbs should be used as currency, since it is too much pressure on the chickens. Collecting the breadcrumbs out of the car will be a two-fold help. Cleaner cars and more currency. Judy will only take the extra ink, doing them a favor. JudyG. is planning to giver free cars to the citizens, after making them out of desserts that are lactose-free. These cars will be edible, last long and produce more crumbs.
"A vote for Judy Gumsmacker is a vote for a comfortable chocolate filled tummy."
The Weirdo says that the dessert cars will crumble and will be a bad idea. He also wants to know where people will store their breadcrumbs, since they are so easy to lose. The Weirdo, in answer to what newspapers he reads daily (mindy cracks me up), answered "the funnies."
Jack thinks that taking the octopi ink is cruel. Also, breadcrumbs might be eaten by mice if stored to long. While Jack supports The Weirdo, he thinks that eggs as currency may not be a great idea. Jack thinks that a better idea for currency would suggest plastic pieces that could designed by the governor.
His question: What is the number one priority thing that you would do to make Colifloridia a better place?
Breaking News:
Bob Staake, at 4:35pm, just endorsed "The Weirdo."
Luke Russert (23), NBC Youth Correspondent and son of late Tim Russert, notes that the candidates are making lots of promises. These promises cost money and they need to make sure they have enough currency to keep those promises. If they don't follow through on their promises, they would have a difficult time getting re-elected. They would have to be sure to blame events that developed if they can't follow through on their promises. They need to develop a good strategy.
Luke's advice for fielding questions includes avoiding the gaffe, something not exactly what you intended to say. You should rehearse and don't get off those topics. This is politics, not meant to permanently scar you. Run clean campaigns about the issues. Ideas can't get hurt.

Breaking news:
Jay McGaw endorsed Judy Gumsmacker, because of her lactose tolerance.
Special Agent Emily has endorsed The Weirdo. Her advice is to don't make up something and don't say something really, really stupid that will come back to haunt you. Pay close attention to the polls. Don't look like a flip-flopper. She suggests wearing supportive shoes on the campaign trail.
The ex-governor of Colifloridia, Ian Smith, called in. He gave up the office when he turned 13. He is interested in politics in his own area. Colifloridia can fly because it is shaped liked a duck, so sometimes it tries to migrate, even into Canada. The Canadians were hungry and tried to eat the state. Ian was shocked to find how nice the people were. The one body of water was in the watery eye, Thousand Eyeland. The pirates on the Eyeland were drinking the water. Take a picture to see the invisible people of Ghost-town. As of right now, Ian is undecided. Mindy encouraged him to vote, but voting is limited to people under 13 (oops).
I missed the latest development as I had to go to a short meeting. I hear that there is some sort of tree-uprising? That those people stuck in real tall trees feel that they are not being fairly represented.
Notes:
