Congratulations Uncle Sam!
At last the time has come, the citizens of the eUnited States of America have made their decision. I want to congratulate Uncle Sam on his re-election to the office of the Presidency, and I extend that congratulations to his Vice President, Joe Dasmoe for running a clean campaign in the midst of prosecuting the Mexican War, and emerging victorious.
Many have asked how I am feeling at this moment in time, perhaps expecting discouragement or anger … but I feel neither, my sense of thankfulness to the American citizens is just too great to allow any false self-pity to emerge. I'm thrilled that so many people have helped me in this campaign and have voted for me today (500 at the last glance). I never would have expected this 3 months ago when I was asked to step up and lead the USWP in a time of need. So today I feel gratitude.
I congratulate each of the other candidates for President this during this election, DesertFalcon, Jewitt and Don Keedrick; though you, as I, may not have reached the prize we sought, each and every vote that your received is an acknowledgment that, though we have diverse opinions and strategies to contribute to America’s future, we represent citizens that are willing to invest in our vision the item of greatest value in a democracy…the vote. Further ... we all ran clean campaigns and that is a truly remarkable thing.
I thank my running mate, PrincessMedyPi, for her contributions and energy during the campaign … as she has always proven, and will continue proving, her focus is on a positive future for America. PrincessMedyPi, I am sorry that we were unable provide you with the platform of the Vice Presidency to extend that positive vision to fruition for the citizens of the eUnited States of America.
I thank my campaign manager, Inwegen, who orchestrated a mammoth campaign while still adroitly serving in his role as current United States Secretary of State. Inwegen, my friend, you are a testament to the fact that a campaign can be about positive solutions and still see great success, even in the current climate of partisan rancor and polarization.
I thank the United States Worker’s Party volunteers that stepped up in the midst of the return of Plato and worked long hours and contributed so much to my race, I am honored to have been able to represent you for the Presidential race. Your efforts have been noticed and deeply appreciated.
Many are asking what my plans are. Well, I plan to work on getting the eUSA Court System on-line and fun like it was in the old Forums and to write more articles about those adventures and other fun stuff. So please keep your subscriptions and I'll do my best to keep you entertained. And perhaps you will see me running again next month ... give me some time to talk it over with my party and those 500 people who supported me.
Once again, congratulation Uncle Sam and Joe DaSmoe, I know that you will serve the American citizens well, and, finally, thank you America for voting, regardless of for whom your vote was cast, once again you demonstrated your civic pride and desire for positive solutions with this election cycle.
Sincerely, thank you,
scrabman

Your a class act scrab! Voted.
Scrabby...you're the best.
class act, even in the end
@ DessertFalcon? 😛
Sorry ... old habbit. I fixed it.
Thanks guys. You all rock!
Well said, ScrabbyPatty.
Very gracious. You ran an amazing campaign and I hope you will be back next month.
Hear hear. Hope this doesn't spell the end of your thoughtful, dedicated, analytic commitment to the game. I'd like to see you on the ballot again.
Well said. Thanks for laying out such a detailed platform.
Scrab it was great working on this over the past month and a half. We had a great time and I look forward to future possibilities for you and the USWP.
Classy way to end this month's election scrabman. You had a great campaign and I'm sure that you'll get the presidency some day.
Next time scrabman! Next time!
*applauds*
Hey, you may not be President, but your insight is very much needed here.
Thanks to you for your dedication.
YOU CAN HELP ATLANTIS WHIT YOUR VOTE.
VOTE TUPUT IN FRANCE. WE NEED 15 VOTES TO WIN
A very honorable and admirable end to an honorable and admirable campaign.
You had an uphill fight ever since the Mexican War-- it raised the wellness of many average Americans (I saw it personally-- I do the numbers for my NG platoon). Happy people tend to vote for the status quo.
If I can make a RL analogy, it's sort of like trying to run against the incumbent when the economy is booming. Given the boost to wellness from this war, what is amazing is that Scrab and MedyPi did as well as they did. The only reason they did so is because they ran an intelligent campaign in which they clearly laid out their visions for the future of eUSA. We can use more reasoned discourse like this in the future.
As a noobie, this was my 1st Presidential election. In the meantime, like every citizen soldier, I will enjoy the "wargames" and work on strength and wellness.
As a citizen soldier, I remain loyal to the CIC, but hope that Scrab and MedyPi will consider national service in the future.
Certainly. And thank you.
Do you want to kick some Indonesian behinds... the come to Romania...there's a lot of them over here...fell free to join us anytime preferably during the war....http://www.erepublik.com/en/battles/show/6077
Classy as usual, you're the man Scrab. May the scrabble gods bless ya 😉
Nicely put -- better luck next time.
very well said scrab it was a wonderful race and despite my lack of commenting on your campaign articles I liked a lot of the ideas you had and would love it if you'd be willing to offer your services to carry a few of them out through my next term in office.
A class act through and through...
If you run again next month, I guarantee that I will work in your campaign for an even better America.
Yes, one of the great untold stories about this election is the huge voter turnout; nearly 500 more than the next highest historical presidential election.
Anyhow, keep up the good work scrabman.
Very good campaign!
Meh... at least you didn't bitch as much as I would've... I think.
Yes, appreciated the statement and - again - this reinforces my earlier urging for a robust cabinet of rivals. Recently, I visited Canada and I was impressed with its Cabinet System.
What a good list of candidates we saw in the last Presidential election. I, for one, would love to see all or most of these fine players participating as a "team of rivals" in an Administration to benefit the country.
Next time, eh.
Your time will come.
Congratulations to both Uncle Sam and Scrabman! Nice fight for presidency!
Congratulation Uncle Sam for the assistance offered Romania !
