Either way they can't reply. They can't reply? Okay, nothing particular about this message, or even this thread, but I keep seeing messages implying there is some kind of "can't compaign" rule that happens when voting starts. I don't see anything like that in the constitution--in fact, there isn't even anything in there about a "Compaign Period", only about a perioud during which no candidates can be nominated, and a note that candidates *should* use this time for campaigning. Even if it's debatable if that "should" is exlcusive or inclusive, it's still just a "should". I don't see why a DPL candidate couldn't go until the day the vote ends, or start compaigning for 2012 starting now if they really wanted to (other than that it would be silly/annoying/unruly/bad-karma/whatever). -- Wesley J.
