The final round has arrived and one ballot stands between two candidates and War Room history. These two candidates survived among seventeen other candidates in a week long debate and primary bloodbath to get to where they are now but it is you the voter who wields the power. Thank you all for handling the multiple tagging throughout this process. Please read the final campaign pitches below to have a better grasp of each candidates campaign if you haven't been checking in with the other threads.
The Candidates' Last Pitch to the War Room
@Palis speech after Primary win
@JDragon speech after Primary win
REMINDER- The poll at face value DOES NOT reflect who is currently winning because of the registry in place. Non-citizens will still be able to vote in the polls but they will not count. It's only after the poll closes in a week, I will tally up the votes and announce the official results. I do not want the false appearance of non-citizen votes to persuade a citizen voter to change their mind based on what the current results are.

The Candidates' Last Pitch to the War Room
@Palis speech after Primary win
While I myself am a Great American, looking to make the War Room Great Again and let me tell you--this place definitely needs work, you have a lot of sleezy gimmicks here, some with blue names, some with green and white names--who are disingenuous, pseudo intellectuals just dripping with smugness. These people go around in only certain threads that they have the highest chance of not being attacked, google the topic of the story, then do their best copy/pasta with edits. The swamp needs drainage, badly.
So how do you do that? Well you can't just kill people like Hillary. How do you do that on a forum? You make an untouchable Presidential thread that everyone can see and you IMMORTALIZE these hacks for life with quotes and links. I am greatly looking forward to this exposure and it'll be done to everyone on all sides of the spectrum, yugely.
Being an Great American I surround myself with great people. People of all walks of life. My VP as you all may know is a tireless, hardworking, intelligent man known as Dr J. He does big and great things for me and it's a testament to my decision making ability that I would choose this man, with a plethora of experience to be my right hand man.
Next is my Secretary of State, RhinoRush. Not only is this man a great person who understands the greatness Donald Trump brings to the world, he is a truly great, hardworking and inspiring Canadian. He is leading the fight for his country, trying to take back what the ultra leftist PC thugs have grasped in his country and let me tell you folks, he works hard behind the curtains, he is a gem to have in my cabinet--I only employ the best!
I am looking for only a few more key cabinet members. Spots are open, negotiable, depending on your background.
For instance I need a groundskeeper. Jack V Savage would be tremendous for this. I absolutely believe he is hard working, I just don't think he has a chance in politics, the polls show folks... but good for him.
Madmick could be our fitness center manager.I think he could use the money and he has somewhat of a athletic background to boot. He didn't score 4 touchdowns in one game like Al Bundy but he came off the bench once as a Tight End and I have no doubt he gave it his all.
panamaican, I don't necessarily have a job for, but I would out of pocket freely counsel him to the best of my abilities to see if the guy is truly sick enough to take it to the next level with the poor girl in his AV that he's stalking. I admit, I am not qualified to diagnose him, but I've worked with many people over the years, all walks of life and I think my analysis can determine if we need serious professional help or not. I'm thinking a good father/son talk from me should suffice though.
Thank you Lead for setting this election up, giving us a chace to really ignite the WR and make it a superior sub forum.
Thank you all who voted for me and to all who will vote for me. We're going to do big things folks, you're going to love your Presidential thread my fellow War Room citizens!
Palis/Dr J 2016!!
@JDragon speech after Primary win
War Room citizens!
I would like to thank all my voters for the overwhelming support. Together, we will make the War Room great again.
We will make it a better place for posters irrespective of background and ideology.
Now, it has come down to a very easy and basic decision.
Do you vote for the candidate with an actual program?
Or do you vote for the candidate who introduces and then abandons ideas randomly?
Do you vote for the candidate who promises to make the War Room better - not only for liberals, but also for conservatives?
Or do you vote for the candidate whose election would only be a show of force by the right wing in the forum and nothing more?
Do you vote for the candidate who fights his own fights?
Or do you vote for the candidate who needs two adjutants to cover his ass?
Remember how Palis called us all fucking stupid cans behind our backs in the Sports Bar?
His spin doctors yelled 'Oh so unfairly quoted out of context!1!' when it in fact was not and attempted deflections through Hansleaks.
But surely, that was just a slip? One careless moment?
Guess what: it was not.
This, War Room citizens, is what you get when you vote Palis. Someone who is on record repeatedly that he thinks you are all either trolls or fucking stupid cans, zealots and retards.
A vote for Palis is a vote that simply proves you are the ultimate cuck: hanging on someone's nuts who despises and ridicules you. A vote for Palis makes a mockery of yourself and the War Room.
There is an alternative. You don't need to like me or my views to recognize that there is only one vote that makes sense in any way.
Because I am not a Sports Bar regular.
Because I do not despise this place and the posters in it.
Because I actually have a plan what to do with my Presidency.
Because this plan is good for you whether you are conservative or a liberal.
I promise I will introduce Poster of the Month and Shitposter of the Month awards.
I promise that those who nominate other posters for Poster of the Month and Shitposter of the Month are in the running for monthly Presidential Medals of Honors that come with free Plats months - but only if it is done against political leaning. That means you get rewarded if you acknowledge good posts from your ideological opponents or call out buddies for the bullshit they write.
I promise not to favor one side, which will be ensured by always having nominations from both (or multiple) sides in the monthly polls that determine the award winners.
I promise I will build the wall to the Mayberry, F2 and other dark places in the internet and I will enforce it by introducing extreme vetting of new posters.
War Room citizens, make the smart choice.
Let's make the War Room great again - together!

This election was rigged. I demand a recount. Someone needs to check the polling code for this site. I can't name my source but I have it on good word that Panamaican votes were changed after entry.
I also concede. Thanks to everyone who voted for me. To paraphrase Artie Ziff: "Instead of voting for some athletic hero, or a pretty boy, you voted for me, your intellectual superior as your king. Good for you!"
JDragon has started threads in the WR and is a solid poster. It sounds like Dr J is the actual "alpha" on the ticket and would be the actual president. And he's not as dumb or ill-mannered as Pallis. So that's good. My endorsement is in play, though, and I want to hear the pitches from the general election candidates.
HomerThompson said:I concede this election as I received a paltry 3 total votes. My thoughts:
I haven't seen JDragon post in a single thread besides the war room election threads since the election started, and have literally never seen him post anything of substance or the least bit interesting. It's possible he's a war room poster, but I sure don't know about it.
Palis is a sports bar poster, and is generally pretty funny. However, he's never posted a single compelling thing in the war room, and doesn't seem to actually believe anything politically at all. He's definitely not a war room regular. I don't know how he qualified to vote in this election, much less run in it.
I will not be endorsing either of these candidates as neither of them seem capable of being a good war room President. I suppose if Dr. J keeps up his tireless work as Palis's VP we could end up with a good sticky thread, but I can't endorse either candidate here. May god have mercy on your bum souls.
Clippy said:I will never concede. I am Clippy. I am eternal. Palis and DJragon will fall. I will be sitting in wait. And when something happens (which won't be my fault) I will swoop in and pick up the pieces. I am the people's president and I speak for the people. I might not have won the "rigged" election but I won the real election and the people's hearts.
Also I'm coming back every year and will only get stronger!
//speech
P.S.. Will this be a yearly thing and if so will there be a term limit / to how many times you can hold office etc
I hereby officially endorse Palis.
I could not in good conscience vote for a lazy candidate, such as myself.
PS: I'm keeping the kittens.
CEROVFC said:The office of President of the Sherdog War Room is truly one I have aspired to reach from a young age. I have spent a great many years of my life educating myself in political and economic matters as it is impossible to understand the first topic without well understanding the latter. It has been a long, tumultuous winding road. I have seen both the good side, and the bad side of politics; and I have always wanted to partake in the good, and improve the lives of the people around me. It has been no bed of roses, no pleasure cruise... I have had my share of sleepless nights... Pressure filled deadlines... Multitasking to the point of exhaustion. But it was all worth it. The bad times served to build character, and in that regard, there were no bad times.
I have given my all this election cycle, and I feel that I stand before the Sherdog War Room like Joe DiMaggio once stood - the luckiest man in the world. I have the satisfaction of knowing I did all I could to become POTWR, and that in itself is a success. But after having a long discussion with my wife, I have decided that it is in our best interest that I concede that I will not win the Presidency of the War Room, and it is appropriate that I drop out of the race at this juncture.
I want to thank my legions of supporters and fans. Without you, none of this would have been possible. To my super PAC, I want to thank you for your dedication; the countless hours you put in. You truly were my inspiration. To my wife, without you, I could have never take this ride... As a wise person once said, "behind every great man, is a great woman, and behind that great woman is that man's wife." To my fellow Sherdog posters, I feel confident that you will be well represented by whomever becomes POTWR. When it comes time to vote, you must look up and down the ballot, and follow your conscience and pick who will defend the Sherdog War Room's imaginary constitution.
Space said:Anyway, I endorse the Palis/Dr J ticket to carry on the shitlording tradition in an official capacity in the WR.
I mentioned working on a concession speech in a previous post.
Now it seems, as it did from the first, that I will not be winning this thing, I want to thank a few people.
All the nameless, and known, women I think about when I'm rocking my own world, obviously. Like my buddy's wife, she's got a great pair and I have hundreds of her pictures, many of which I took.
My ex girlfriend, she deserves high praise for things that would get me suspended if I didn't circumlocute them.
*shudders*
Good God Almighty, was she a dirty girl.
Uh, I'd also like to thank the good forum members who tagged me into the proceedings, kept me informed, gave me valuable advice, and didn't say anything too upsetting when they noticed that I'd inadvertently stained their shorts and other items.
Here and now, *that I've put on some fresh underwear, boxer briefs, that's the only adult option*, I'd like to make an endorsement.
It's an endorsement from a drug user and chronic offjerker, so you know it wasn't easy to get,
... gotta repack this.
As I was saying, it's time to concede that I didn't win, and stop talking about myself.
I'll get to that.
Hell of a time to have my only lighter give up the ghost, but that's life for you. I'm putting my considerably larger than anyone else's penis on the podium which Palis is standing behind, from off to stage right and a few rows back but not out of camera view. I'll be in the official photos.
It's enormous but it's the right thing to do
And a tasty way to do it
