It seems clear from the early going that something is broken in the party system. Formerly partisan opponents seem to line up with one another to hang one of their own, as much as go after their ideological opposites. Apparently when attempting to censure a wolf, party lines blue not only a little, but a lot.
Even more curious, as a tight race between two Republican representatives developed, is that three Congressmen even abstained, refusing to vote. It will be interesting to see what their constituents think of that. Former Speaker of the House and Congressman Chubby (D) put up a key vote, as he threw in what turned out to be the deciding vote on Rep. Mrs. Schmidty (R). The vote allowed the other Wolf Censure candidate Tyrith (R) to escape, as a final--and post-late deadline--vote from mccollins-R brought him within one. Mrs. Schmidty wasn't shocked like claphamsa when the vote became official. Not at all. In fact, she laughed. And it wasn't a "pass the day" laugh. It was more like a "Skeletor thinks he just killed HeMan" laugh. "You are all fools to continue to believe your way is best for this country!" she said. "You try to hide behind a facade of good will, but you're all cannibals, feeding off of the human flesh that is the people of America. One day, they will realize they have a true party on their side!" With that, she triumphantly reveals a hidden Wolf Party badge on the inside of her suit coat. She flashes it mockingly at the gathered Representatives before walking out. MRS. SCHMIDTY HAS BEEN CENSURED, AND SHE WAS A WOLF!

Damn, nice one. I have to admit I was VERY suuprised. Especially with the lack of evidence being given to us by the Republicans who voted that way.

McCollins late vote on Tyrith looks bad.
My late switch doesn't look great either but Heinze wasn't getting any traction. I said in my party thread I would switch to Mrs Schmidty if I had to. I was really waiting for there to be some shenanagins based on the way the day went |

Today's voting results:
Rep. PackerFanatic (D) has been selected the new Speaker of the House. His term begins now, and will last until the end of the term at the end of the Day Four day cycle. The Investigative De-Limitation Act met quorum and has been passed. The Nationalized Healthcare Bill met quorum and has been passed. A Sneaky Wolf clause has been discovered in the bill's fine print. Both of these bills are now on the desk of President Illinifan999, with a decision due by the end of the night cycle. Mrs. Schmidty's 6th District is now under the control of President Illinifan999, in addition to the 7th District. The 5th District, formerly controlled by Mrs. Schmidty, is now under the influence of PurdueBrad of the 4th District. NIGHT THREE HAS NOW BEGUN. THE DEADLINE IS 7 A.M. EST (4 A.M. PDT)

There are quite a few people that this implicates I think, both from yesterday and today.

Does anyone see a reason to veto the bill with the sneaky clause?

Honestly I agree. However, I had about 5 minutes to get a vote in before the popularity deadline (still missed it) and I just followed your lead in voting for one of the people I mentioned as a suspect earlier in the day in our party thread. In the end, it all worked out and luckily I didn't prevent the lynch of a wolf! |

Prevents the wolf from being identified by the bodyguard if I read it right from the rules.

No, illini, pass it.
Mccollins put up a late vote -- is it gone? I don't see it, but I see it talked about. And if he did...mccollins, just adding you to the list. Pass is clean, KWhit is clean, good job certain people :P And I hope the wonderful people of the Democratic party will take this vote, and the fact that one of your own is now the Speaker, as a sign that we're willing to cooperate and we don't necessarily have to keep lynching Republicans -- if it started 2 on each side, there is now a much greater probability for a democratic wolf :P |

Good job everyone. Not that it matters that much, but I had Mrs Schmidy typed into my vote before changing and going with heinze.

Not at all - our party needed that. We were in shambles after yesterday and, although I don't know if the Speaker even influences the party, I hope it helps us win back some of those seats tomorrow. We will be taking a long, hard look inside our party tomorrow.

Good. And yeah, yesterday was a mess. I'm content for now to let you guys clean up the wreckage of the electoral mess from yesterday, by and large. You can generally guess what that means.

I added in a PM vote I had missed from PurdueBrad into the bill voting and in the lynch. Of course, with both bills passing easily, his votes didn't affect the outcome. The lynch vote might have mattered, except he voted for Mrs. Schmidty. So, really it just put that one away.

I'll apologize for the lack of votes from the GOP. I'm guessing we'll pay for it in popularity -- the public probably hates it when their congressmen don't even vote for censuring, so we'll be paying for it.

Re #1 - you're right my memory failed me Re #2 - I wouldn't say conveniently left out the three straight votes on clap, just trying to make the point that neither side is immune to allegations of partisan voting on day 2. However, the democratic votes were only 3 and much earlier in the day and had more of an opportunity to switch. The republican effort was more concentrated and later (right at the end of the work day on the east coast) where those votes were locked in and confirmed our suspicions of a partisan vote. At the end of the day both parties (yourself perhaps excluded) had the same strategy vote for the other guy.

Well, you knew I would be out. Anyway, given that you guys all voted for the same person yesterday, and that you had more people than us (in terms of votes for wolves), I was thinking I'd pretty much let you drive. I had no read on Mrs. Schmidty other than quietude, but I'm glad it worked out. |

There's a penalty for switching votes, so I don't think we could rest on the fact that there was an opportunity for it. I don't mean to simply restate my opinion on this again, but I simply think you guys voted in a party block, moreso than we did (thanks to me, basically), and since your guy wasn't a wolf, you paid the price for it. I'm not looking to cast more blame on you guys or anything, just letting you know that I think the reason for your poor election performance was in a large part due to your actions that day. |

I think at this point we can all let day 2 go and say live and let live. None of us had anything to go on so we did what was best for our parties, not for our nation. I know I'm no wolf and encouraged similar behavior. It happens. Today shows that we can be a unified Congress and fight the real evil, the wolves, and then worry about which party rules.

Great Job guys! I see I didn't get a vote in, I thought I put all my votes in in the one post? I wasn't looking at Mrs. S anyway so my vote wouldn't have effected that much.
Sorry to lose out on Speaker though. I have some real solid Ideas for legislation. Till next Time Mr. Speaker! I say let the sneaky rider stand and sign both Bills. Its a decent trade off. As I have nothing further to ad tonight, I will retire for the evening. PS: The Dark Knight is unfuckingbefuckinglev-fuckaing-able. Dear god I miss Heath Ledger now more than ever. He honestly deserves an scar for that performance. Holy shit. |
