The concession
Ilene Dover
This is the article I don’t want to write. Really. Still felt like I should.
At this stage of the day, it’s fairly obvious that I will not be your CP for February. I want to offer my congratulations to Derphoof publicly. Thanks for running a clean campaign, and not letting it get personal. Thanks for being approachable, to talk to about anything in particular.
Good luck this month, although I hope you don’t need it.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank the people that have supported me the past week and a half. In particular, the players who agreed to serve in my cabinet (had I won), who mostly had good advice at various points. A special thanks is also due to the parties who supported my efforts: The OFU, The Black Sheep Party and the irrepressible folk at SFP. Thanks for caring enough to come out and play.
Last but not least, thank you to the 130-odd people that voted for me. It's a heart warming show of faith.

To write such an article. o7
Thanks Ilene, that is why so many do support you!
Great campaign, always next time.
Good to know what you do in March!
I hope she will run again. We need more girly power in here
Baaaaa
well played
The right candidate won

Beware the Ides of March, Derphoof.
You'll get there Ilene. Losing a CP election is not fun at all, but it'll be that much sweeter when you win.
I've already won one. Lost two now. 🙂
Appreciate the sentiment though, thanks.
You ran a good campaign Ilene. Looking forward to the next one already!
much love and respect.
An honorable campaign and a solid effort. I hope this does not discourage you, or anyone, and that there were more people with your passion and integrity. I look forward to seeing how your political future unfolds and what your able to do if and when you do win the PotUS seat.
You're nice.
Sorry you did make it this time. Still love and root for you.
