You know Able; with that ol' Battle Ship Row of Good Ol' Boys standing in line, I doubt very seriously what you say makes a bit of difference. Let's see, there's Hanson, Oberdieck, Stillman, Mathewson, Wes De Cou, and I'm sure someone else even if Brown retires. So the slate of 3 will easily get selected. Just have to keep the water a little off color now and then.
Just a point, the person nominating me was not one of my old buddies, but a Florida personality of some renown. [sm=shades_smile.gif]
Well Hoss, amongst those GOB's at least two have already lost to DB while vying for the job, one has distinguished himself primarily as a DB parrot, and scuttlebutt is that one was blocked from being on the ballot by DB's decision to run last time. A couple of them have shown glimpses of what they are made of in this forum, and for one of them that ain't likely to help him win the job - like DB he doesn't know the difference between election and coronation. One is from FL so he has something going for him
, but he is still a freshman DVP and didn't by any means have a tough act to follow. Dunno why you can't compete in that crowd.
You've got a FL personality of some renown behind your run, so I said to myself 'Self, maybe a FL personality of little and somewhat checkered repute is needed to balance things out.'
I found this [link=http://www.modelaircraft.org/nominatdue.asp]Nominating Procedure Document[/link] on the AMA site. Anything else I need to know?
