ferdinand meglesmorp is the worst candidate for governor in the history of this state, and i can prove it. first of all, in college he was a roommate of alex candlesmith, who became a serial murderer. last year he met repeatedly with the speaker of the house of representatives, a man who was later found to have embezzled money from the general fund. meglesmorp must have put that idea in his head when they met, and do we want to have someone who inspires embezzlement as our governor? i know that the president of the national association of economists says that meglesmorp's plan to save the economy is the best one he's heard in years, but we all know that the president of the national association of economists is a fool. he called for a reduction in interest rates five eras ago, and that reduction caused a terrible depression. everyone i know is voting against meglesmorp, and they are doing so for this reason: he is the worst candidate for governor in the history of this state.
