The ENN coverage was awesome this election. Might you be covering the Senate standby coming up soon?

HEM: "Welcome back to the final segment of ENN's May Election coverage.
The results as they stood when polls closed a few hours ago:
- Quote:
-
Drecq (President)/Elias Greyjoy (Vice President) [IND] 16 (39%) Kraketopia (President)/Pope Lexus X (Vice President) [IND] 25 (61%)
Drecq gained a fair bit of ground toward the end, but does that change the bottom line?
Paul Krugman: "In a word: no. This was still a huge victory for Kraketopia. Drecq did managed to outperform all of Anumia's opponents, but this remains a much larger victory that pundits expected.
Jay Leno: "Something we have to consider is that all the late undecided vote probably went to Drecq, because the result was already decided."
HEM: "That's certainly possible, though it doesn't always happen that way."
John Major: "In a funny way, our prediction that the very late establishment vote would go to Drecq ended up being correct. It just was a foregone conclusion at that point."
HEM: "What about President Anumia's lack of a closing address?"
Paul Krugman: "Not surprising, though disappointing. He didn't give an Inaugural Address in either of his terms as President, and didn't like giving a traditional "speech". People criticized him for it -- maybe rightfully so -- but I'm guessing the majority of the region doesn't care seeing as he sat in the Goldenblock for six months."
HEM: "Alrighty everyone, that is it from us for now. Interview with the new President will be posted within 24 hours! Thanks everyone for watching, and adios!"

Zenny: "Kraken is an incredibly likeable man. Hes intelligent, funny, and he rarely gets into heated political fights that can sometimes ruin careers. This myth of Drecq being the Old Gaurd favorite couldnt be farther from the truth. Kraken is popular amongst -all- democraphics. Newcomers are an important demo, but honestly the stereotype that newcomers will always vote for newer people just didnt hold up."
I think this is correct.
A few sentences in Drecq's platform about defender outreach were poorly received. In an election with few substantive differences between the candidates, that hurt him -- no less among the "Old Guard " than among less long-tenured citizens.
I would echo CSP's comments upthread about Drecq 'a exceptional grace in defeat. I think we'll see Drecq in teal in the not-too-distant future.

Be honest. How long did it take you to come up with that? Probably only about 5 seconds in GAP time. So like 6 hours IRL.
