Ryan's withdrawal from candidacy has created an interesting situation; well, to be concise, even thought I placed dead last amongst the candidates, I'm still in the race!
This creates a conundrum: I lost, but I'm back in contention for a council seat (legally, if not probably), and it might appear annoyingly silly that Ryan, my friend, dropped out even though he was a front runner and the last place guy is back in the race. So if I don't drop out now, I'm just wasting everyone's time and insulting the intelligence of those few who might have supported me.
It's pretty certain that I don't have much of a chance, so it's likely that I'll withdraw.
I'll let you know when I come to the decision, and that will likely be fair soon.
