Well, the time has come.
We've fought long and hard but in the end, we just couldn't pull it out. I want to thank everyone who worked in this campaign - you have been a beacon of drunkeness and frivolity for all of America to look up to.
While I think we were on the right track, we just couldn't pull it out. At first I blamed our loss on the bad publicity the campaign recieved when it was revealed that we were passing out abortions to underage girls in the back of the tour bus - but that couldn't have been it. Then I thought it must have been my controversial plan to change the uniforms of the Coast Guard to Pikachu costumes, but then again, who doesn't love Pikachu? Perhaps it was "The Raw Deal" which proposed to make all 80's Arnold films required viewing for elementary school kids.
In the end, though, I think it had most to do with the fact that this was a campaign run entirely on a movie website message board. I really think the campaign could have benefited from leaving the confines of this thread, and trying to reach out to more voters - a commercial, newspaper ads, sandwich boards carried by homeless guys that we pay in Thunderbird wine, etc.
This is all hindsight, I know, but it seems to make the most sense.
Thank you all & may Amen-Ra bless your lives.
