Picking Oberdieck over DeCou to run is a puzzlement. It would certainly even out the vote more which would no doubt go to Brown if history is any indication. If Brown wanted to pick his successor then not running at all would probably assure Mathewson a win over Oberdieck. With DeCou in the picture with Oberdieck and Mathewson it could be a toss up whether DeCou or Mathewson would be the winner. We will probably never know what motivated the ballot choices, other than there is probably some skulduggery involved. [:'(]
