I've got rainy's back, so should you

Here we go.
Mood Music: I live in Seattle; I know the rain.
It was shaping up to be a fairly dull CP race this month. I was preparing my harpoons for the run I assumed Oblige was going to make at #8. To my surprise, he did not enter the fray, yielding the stage to Deepchill for a seemingly unopposed run. I like Deepchill, having worked with him in a variety of capacities over the last year or so, including my brief stay in EZC as a Regiment Captain. While an unopposed race is rather dull, I was ok with the outcome because of my general liking of the candidate.
Until yesterday.
I had a chance last week to meet up with Aramec in the flesh and have lunch. We had delicious burgers (mine a churken, his a...some other strange meat combo that involved a duck I think) and discussed eRep because what else did we have to talk about? Following that conversation, I was not surprised at all when I saw his article yesterday. He made some very important points, and out of that article was born something magical.
When I first took over again as Secretary of Defense under Molly Emma with the newly merged USAF reeling from the effects of shoddy leadership and poor handling of changes, a bright spot in the darkness was rainy sunday. Molly and I both felt that with the new arrangement, a stable hand was necessary to counter the effects of an endless cycle of change in the White House and the Pentagon. That hand was the Operations Commander. That hand was rainy.
I had the great pleasure of working with her for a few months following that as we tried to develop USAF into the unified organization it was meant to be and we both knew it could be. rainy is a valuable member of our community, for this and so many other reasons.
I’m honored to have the opportunity to endorse, support, and vote for rainy sunday for CP on the 5th, and I implore you to do the same.
Dio bless you, and Dio bless the eUnited States of America.

All weather forecasts predict a rainy sunday on the 5th.
Dio would be proud.
I like rainy's back and I can not lie, you other brothers can't deny
Meet combo? Voted for Rainy anyway. All Day everyday Rainy.

Choke yourself.
Already did, in the most sexual way 😉
There are some things that just can't be unseen. This is one of those...
This is, way, overdue.
She is overqualified.
I voted your article, btw. Not everything that I do is out of spite.
We are Dio. You are Dio. I am Dio.
May the love of Dio be with you, forever.
i like Rainy but DC4CP
This is probably my biggest complaint and why I am ready to support rainy: http://prntscr.com/5cosl2
Nothing can replace direct contact from the CP to the people and vice versa.
it isn't like rainy is a media mogul either.
DC's shortcoming as a writer is definitely worth noting, though, so for those looking for a lot of ingame articles, he won't provide it.
However, as a communicator to people, DC has developed some extremely useful techniques. His Daily Briefings both in Easy Company's Forum as well as in the USWP forum have made him constantly accessible as well as in touch with the people who he was serving. I'd expect nothing less from him as CP.
No, the RS phenomenon is magical because eUSA has been trying to draft her into the top seat for years and she has never made the leap to letting them. She finally has.
I wish I were unbiased so I could do some reporting on it. But I want Deepchill for President very much.
I am MOSTLY disappointed that everyone else is as biased in one way or another as I am, so that nobody is really reporting this campaign in a journalistic way. It is just a ton of campaign pieces.
Anyway, DC4CP
I do wish there were more unbiased reporters, Potusian Potuses remains one of my favorite pieces. Being said, given how few writers we have, I am very much enjoying any influx in writing, even if it has a clear bias. I take some issue with DC's response mostly because DC asserts that what oblige did was fine in informing the country when I really do want whomever wins, rainy or DC, both of whom, you are correct, are far from moguls, to write more than they are used to in the office.
I agree with Paul in that my biggest gripe his Deep's acceptance of the status quo. Oblige's communication has been extremely shitty. To say that it was good is either skewed by insider knowledge, or brown nosing.
My interpretation of DC's comment is that he personally felt informed based on the job that was being done by Custer/MelRose and crew.
But I really cannot speak for him on this.
It is mostly my knowledge of him as a player which has me thinking that what you THINK he was saying does not at all sound like what he THINKS as a person.
I'm actually a quite terrible communicator. I write well, but when it comes to keeping a group of people informed about my thoughts and actions, I suck. I have had to go to great lengths professionally to accommodate for this weakness. But being sensitive about it, I recognize it as a skill in others. Deepchill is amazing at making his entire team of co-leaders as well has the people he is leading feel tapped into what direction he is taking them
Anyway, interesting topic for me...
Really??? I have not SEEN one written article from rainy........ just every one else writing so what gives?
