| Go go Greg! | http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/lemo...uci-presidency Well it's certainly time for a change, but these matters are usually settled in the proverbial "Smoky Back Rooms", and I doubt Greg could pull enough Congressional votes to oust Phatty (Or defeat whomever Verbruggen nominates as his successor) Congress elects the President [Constitution, Article 29(1)(e)] And don't forget, the 2005 was a somewhat weird one when 2 much better qualified candidates lost out to your friend and mine. Greg will be sure, most pobably, to get one of the 9 "America" delegate votes, but more than 3 or 4 others is unreasonable to expect for a variety of reasons. And other regions will have other fish to fry, quite apart from the undoubted delegate manipulation that will take place. I wish Greg all tthe Luck in the World, but simply don't think he will make it for many of the same reasons that it would be practically impossible to oust phatty. -- Davey Crockett Flying the Flag of the English The Flag of Hengest and Horsa http://azurservers.com/images/whiteDragon.jpg |

No doubt Phats and his cronies will try and ride out the storm but it's a bigger storm than they will have imagined a few months ago. There's big heat coming down from on high! Maybe they can survive, I sure hope not, I'd love to see the Uniballer's face the day Greg gets elected. -- Android Usenet Reader http://android.newsgroupstats.hk |
