The entry period closes at 10pm tonight Internet Brands time.

Tomorrow, I'll get out instructions to the candidates. It's going to be pretty much what was voted on by Talkboard a few years back:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/talkb...-election.html

Then, I'll post some questions in the Talkboard Elections 2012 forum. That forum is read only for everyone except the candidates and me.

I'm number 29. May the best four win!

(The main reason I made this post is I was hoping to see what IB time is, but then I realized that we set our timezone in our preferences, so what shows for me is Eastern, not IB time. I had been proceeding on the assumption that "through November 1" couldn't mean any time before 12 midnight Eastern.)

I prefer to cut out the whole PAC middle-man: just PM me UA ecerts if you'd like to bribe me.

Internet Brands is based in Los Angeles, near spitting distance from LAX.

Applications have now been disabled.

I don't find any rule against that!!!! @:-)
Only if you're a "Candidate of size"

I have also joined the fray, and hope we can have a honest debate and even have a little fun along the way! Looking forward to it!

Just a reminder -- my votes cannot be directly bought, but I can be easily influenced.

Good luck to all the candidates and looking forward to seeing some of you on next year's TB.

Are we really expected to vote for a woman who runs wild through Lancaster County corrupting the innocent Amish?

At least you know it'll be a fun ride!

Besides, I paid the Amish during my only interaction with them over the weekend.

How did you manage to find an Amish gigolo?

That's a secret... Let's just say that it included chocolate chip cheesecake and soup.
