[21:27] <Lulu> Couldn't hurt [21:27] <Joe> No, its very dangerous to mix politics with twitch [21:27] <Lulu> Sigh [21:27] <Lulu> My 14 y/o does it! [21:27] <jokeefe> Very few of his twitch followers are in his district. [21:27] <Joe> It would be like running at a bees nest naked and hitting it with a baseball bat [21:28] <Lulu> Tick tock [21:28] <Lulu> Election o'clock [21:28] <Lulu> time waits for no man [21:28] <jokeefe> aye, neither does sleep ;-) though yesterday it did [21:28] <Joe> Yes I understand that [21:29] <jokeefe> Do what you can, Joe.

[21:30] <jokeefe> The more people you can talk to and can remind to vote for you the week before election day, the better [21:31] <Lulu> Your results will be a matter of public record [21:31] <Lulu> It will reflect on the whole party. [21:31] <Lulu> We have to try at least [21:32] <jokeefe> Better to have identified 100 people who support you and you can come back to next year than to get 1000 votes from unknown people. [21:33] <jokeefe> So, Joe, please email your questions out to me or the list and I will do my best to answer them. [21:33] <Joe> Sure, will do [21:33] <Lulu> Or email him privately.
