District 11 'Emperor' Rob Haney survived a challenge from former Governor Fife Symington last night to retain his LD-11 Chairmanship. The vote was 215 to 160 (having 140 proxies doesn't hurt?). As Obi-Wan Kenobi said to Yoda "this was our last hope". But alas, we all know what happens to the Emperor in the final movie...

Conventional wisdom would have you believe that Haney had the support of the majority of LD11 elected precinct committemen to achieve his re-election bid. Certainly the votes reflect that theory, but then again, maybe not.Through exhaustive research I have uncovered the genuine, intellectual prowess of the newly crowned “King”. Perhaps, the most befitting title would be of course, ” King Haney”, since he presides over a kingdom of Haneyites. King Haney, by his own addmission, has single handedly recruited more than 400 Precint Committemen in LD11. This would be considered a remarkable achievment in its own right, yet for King Haney, pursued for a dubious outcome.
You see, King Haney denuded the vulnerabilities of LD11’s ByLaws, which permits for the chairman to carry the Proxy vote of each and every precint committemen he recruited. Thus, allowing the King to converge upon his personally seleted Kingdom of followers, obtaining their proxy vote, to be cast in any way he personally deemed necessary to
acheive a predictable outconme. King Haney essentially crowned himself in this election by voting a number of proxy votes that outnumbered his rival by more than three to one.
The victory was a forgone conclusion eveidence by the speech Haney recited prior to the ballats even being cast Tuesday night.
In the Kindom of Haney we see mostly court Jesters, and the King has no clothes.
