We at the Flying Pig party would like to thank all of our supporters for the hard work they did during this exciting presidential campaign. It was a good run, hard fought, and dearly paid for.
The contest was close but our analysts tell us that it is statistically impossible for us to pull in Ohio. To avoid the trials and tribulations of a protracted and divisive struggle we are conceding the Presidential race. We will not contest ballots in heavily Piggish districts nor will we file lawsuit after lawsuit in a pathetic attempt to escape the inevitable.
This is a time for healing the self-inflicted wounds that split our country during this highly charged election. A time to make rational thought and cooperation our goals. A time to erase the tri-partisan nature of our politics and make our government simply partisan.
Don't lose heart my friends. The Flying Pig party is still strong and dedicated. We will be back again in 2008 when next these elections come around. In the meantime we fully intend to support President Nader in any way possible and encourage all Piggies to do the same.
Thank you for your support,
Jim Peacock
Former Vice Presidential Candidate, Flying Pig Party
2008!
If it weren't for our last-minute candidate change, we would have had this in the bag.
You were robbed. You had at least one vote in Hong Kong, but it didn't show up on CNN.
Well he had a vote from Israel also. I'm writing an angry letter off to fox and cnn.
Heck, I'll just write off a whole lot of angry bitter letters.
(can I run in 08? I'll let you get top billing!)
"to pull in Ohio".
That means something very different to the English/Aussies/New Zealanders :)
Are you trying to be elected, or get laid?
Flibby - If only we hadn't lost Florida we would have had a chance. We'll get 'em next time.
Simon - That's normal. Absentee ballots generally aren't counted for several after the election. I'm sure it'll show up in the final numbers.
Rachel Ann - We can use all the help we can get and I'm sure we could find a cabinet level position for you. How does Secretary of State sound?
Helen - Why not both? It worked for Clinton.
