Nice simple video - a clear concept, clearly explained. Well done.

Everyone has their own opinion, what is this other video that you speak of? This topic isn't suppose to entertain you like a theatrical trailer. To each his own.

[FreeBird201092]

well obviously you arent easily entertained, because another video that i know of actually used some creativity, and put it into something catchy as opposed to most of the lame boring videos...

I don't find this reasoning all that brilliant. It is way over simplified. 6 candidates equally popular is highly unlikely, which is why there is usually one or two front runners from each party. 50% of the votes of 40 oranges is 20. It only takes 35% of votes of 60 apples to get 21. Less percentage support among more people equals a win. I don't see how it would be so easy for an orange to win in real life.

simplifying an election to apples and oranges is naive. too many other variables here

Is it bad that I find that reasoning brilliant? Never thought of it that way...good presentation.

You might've stepped into the sunlight a bit more though :) Your face was kinda dim in places.

Carrie, you're the only canidate who has production value, interesting shots, and a straightforward message. I watched some of the other competitors and I either fell asleep within 30 secs or wanted to kill myself.
