Well, in other organizations, there aren't hand-picked officers where the
designation by sources of power is so clear-cut that one would have to have
tremendous impetus and popular backing to consider opposing the chosen
nominee, and to muster such popular support would risk the running afoul of
the aforementioned sources of power, with consequences some members would
consider undesirable for their future opportunities to advance within the
organization.

Debby:

Are you in effect saying that an election isn't valid unless multiple
candidates run? Were this the case, John Cherberg wouldn't have been
Lieutenant Governor from the late 1950's well into the 1980's. (grin)

In fact, I don't know whether others will run against Mr. Riccobono or not.
They certainly have a right to do so but if he is a viable candidate (and I
certainly will support him), why go with someone else just for appearance's
sake?

Cheers!

Mike

Hi Mike, wow, this threw me so early in the morning and only part of my
first cup of coffee down, plus being sick over the weekend.  
You aren't supposed to do things like that to me!  Lol.  But on a serious
note, I am a little surprised at this.  So does this mean that there will be
a de facto election, or will someone actually run against Mark Riccobono?
It's funny because I remember some of us talking about what if this
happened.  I think the younger 
people like Mark and that's probably a good thing.  (Smile).    
Peace,    Debby
