I'm going for silent MVP of the thread.
Silent MVP?

LOL, you are the post king in this thread. You hit it out of the park. I have no doubt, this will make a great paper for your studies. I also have no doubt, that this thread will actually prove to provide valuable research for anyone looking at social media campaigning.

There are companies out there that would probably pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to run an experiment, and get data like this thread generated. As I was driving home tonight, I was thinking, what were we voting for? What was our cause?

We proved a catchy name, clever advertising (our posters) and peer pressure, can overcome any lack product quality, and influence anyone into committing to a product. On the surface it looks silly, but there is a ton to be learned by what took place in this thread, especially if you have a product to sell.

We were focused on a goal (Electing Wannamaker). We had a plan to implement to get us there (Ballot stuffing). And we had the tools in place to make it happen (All of the individual propoganda contributions, and recruiting tactics). In a way, we accomplished what the occupy movement still couldn't and hasn't', just on a smaller scale. Define a goal, and put the wheels in motion to achieve it, as simple and silly as the goal was. Calling people to action is pointless, if no defined goal exists.
