In November of 2008, there were 1,608 Write-in votes casted for the office of State Auditor General. There were 402 in Allegheny County alone, more than any other county in the entire state. To put that in perspective, Ron Paul received 579 write-in votes for U.S. President in Allegheny County during the same election. By these rough estimates, the last campaign, lasting less than 7 days, was able to make Striborg nearly 70% as popular as internet sensation Ron Paul. There were no "money-bomb" fundraisers for Striborg. We wore corpse paint and passed on a message of grim malice.
We now have 12 days until election day. What office should Striborg run for next? Please feel free to comment below and/or vote in the poll listed on the page.

I would have loved to see Striborg as head of the European Union instead of this cheesy, haiku-scribbling Rompouille guy. We need som grim malice here for sure!
ReplyDeleteThe flaw was the Striborg didn't have enough political/fiscal cred for "grim malice" to be understood by the voting public at large.
ReplyDeleteHe needs something more entry-level.
This is why I am writing in Striborg for Allegheny County Controller tomorrow.
