Muffin becomes "Dark Bear Candidate" for the Bruins announce's her intention to run for President
Hubby's Office District: Muffin announced today that she was running for the Bruin Party nomination for President. Muffin is a relative newcomer to politics, being the junior congressbear from Hubby's office District where she has only served two terms in the Shelf of Representatives. When asked why she decided to jump into the race at the last minute she replied. "I saw Rvnwolf-Bear's rally earlier this week and frankly it scared me. I feel that this Red Panda party and Mr Rvnwolf-Bear's Pandist philosophy are dangerous. With the allegations of possible fraternizing between the Pandists and the Ursa Party, particularly the allegations of a relationship between (Ursa Party Candidate) Cajun-Bear and Rvnwolf-Bear. I felt that I had to join the race. It seems to me that the only party that understands the seriousness of these allegations is the Bruin Party and they only have two candidates in the field to the Ursa's Three. For that reason I am placing my name on the Bruin list for President of Lori's Bear Shelf."
Senator McBearthy sees red.
Bear Shelf Senate: Senator Joe McBearthy (B) Marblehead, stood up on the floor of the Bear Shelf Senate today and roundly condemned Rvnwolf-Bear, the Red Panda Party and Cajun-Bear as well and suggested that collusion between the Pandists and left paws in the Ursa Party was widespread and well documented. "This is what happens when we rest fellow colleagues. When we set down the eternal light of vigilance. The forces of Red Pandism march right up to our doorstep. I encourage you, ladies and gentlebears, to fight for the freedom of the Bear Shelf. To help us root out the evil wherever it may be hiding." He then went on to introduce to bills to the floor one stating that all cookies in the cookie jar must have "In The Bear Shelf We Trust" written in chocolate chips. The other bill required that a "pledge to the Bear Shelf" would be said by Little Bears in school each morning. After introducing the bills the Senior Senator from Marblehead dared anyone in the chamber to vote them down. Both bills passed easily and they are now on their way to the Shelf of Representatives. Later in his office Senator McBearthy issued a memorandum calling for the creation of a "Commitee on Un-BearShelfian Activities." and asking the judiciary commitee to grant him subpeona power. "All I can say fellow bears is that when I look at Rvnwolf-Bear's sweater I see red. I saw the latest polls today it shows Rvnwolf-Bear with 13% support!! It's frightening to think that there are 13% of bears right in our midst who would embrace a Red Pandist candidate! It's obvious that action concerning this matter can't be taken quickly enough!" When asked if he would subpeona Rvnwolf-Bear and / or Cajun-Bear The Senator only replied "I don't think it would be prudent to discuss who might and might not be on the list at this juncture. I will only say that I have list of people I would like to have a word or two with and they are prepared to name names."
Bear Shelf Enquirer say's it has compromising pix of Presidential Candidate SCarl-Bear and it intends to print them.
Showcase, Lori's Office District. The scandal and rumour magazine Bear Shelf Enquirer announced today that it had aquired pix of Independent Presidential Candidate Scarl-Bear and that it intends to publish them in it's next issue. The pix allegedly feature a scantily clothed Scarl-Bear with two lady bears neither one of whom is his wife. Scarl-Bear was not campaigning today and requests for a reply to these allegations by Scarl-Bear or a member of his staff went unanswered.
Simon, Sterling applaud Senator McBearthy and welcome Muffin to the campaign.
Big Dresser: Bruin Presidential candidate Simon took a moment out of his schedule to welcome fellow Bruin, Muffin, to the campaign and to applaud the actions of Senator McBearthy. I am greatful that we have a great Bear Shelf citizen like Senator McBearthy working to keep the citizens free and safe from dangerous ideas like Red Pandism. I wholeheartedly support his actions and am willing to offer my help in any way it may be required to get to the bottom of this situation.
Hubby's sofa District: Lawrence Sterling III echoed Simon's supporting words today. Senator McBearthy is a great bear and a fine citizen. I am glad that he has stepped forward to deal with this Red Panda situation.
Latest Polls show Teddy Bear a Proven Winner and that the Ursa Party has strong appeal. Cajun-Bear, SCarl-Bear, Simon and Rvnwolf-Bear rise; Brownie and Sterling down.
Rvnwolf-Bear "threat" doesn't seem to be echoing with voters.
Finishing the week with 13% in the polls a jubilant Rvnwolf-Bear celebrated with a small group of his supporters in Red Panda Party headquarters. When asked what he thought about Senator Joe McBearthy's actions today he replied. "Typical reaction from a losing party that's jealous that they don't have my support. This is the party of the rich for the rich after all naturally they are going to be threatened by my ideas and what I and the Red Pandas stand for. All want is for the poor man to be equal to the rich man. What's so bad about that?"
Voters seem to agree. a solid 13% said they would support Rvnwolf-Bear, the Red Panda party and a Rvnwolf bear ticket with anyone that Rvnwolf-Bear chooses in the second position. Theodore R. (Teddy) Bear (left) is still the big bear in town though. Once again winning the week with 24% to Cajun-Bear /Simon's ( his nearest competitors tied for second) 18%. Rvnwolf-Bear was third with 13% Brownie fourth with 11%, Lawrence Sterling III 9% and Scarl-Bear finished with 6%. The Ursa party is still the prefered party 48% to 33% for the Bruins and 13% for the Red Panda. Among the Bruins Simon is still the choice 59% to 41% for Sterling. Among the Ursa's Teddy is their man at 46% to Brownie's 28% and Cajun-Bear's 26%. There was also strong support for the following tickets Simon / Sterling 26%, Teddy Bear / Brownie 33%, Teddy Bear / Cajun-Bear 21%, with that steady 13% saying they would support a ticket lead by Rvnwolf-Bear.
News from 3-28-2000
Rvnwolf-Bear announces his candidacy for President, shocks Bear Shelf citizens by placing his ticket on the Red Panda Party!
"Rvnwolf who?" says Scarl-Bear, "I barely know the bear" says Cajun-Bear "He called me a Capitalist Pig" says Lawrence Sterling III

Living Room District: Rvnwolf-Bear supporters who were invited to a special rally today got a shock when their candidate announced his candidacy for the Red Panda Party. "I really expected to see the insignia of the Ursa Party or maybe hear him announce that he was making a run as an independent like (Independent Presidential Candidate) Scarl-Bear did last week. But I NEVER expected THIS!" said one supporter who attended the rally. Rvnwolf-Bear took the stage flanked by the top bears in his campaign and Red Panda Party banners. Here are some of his remarks.

"Greetings comrad...er fellow bears. I think that the time has come to put an end to the ruling class in the bear shelf. For too long the common bears and the worker bears have been beaten down and oppressed by the bears of the ruling class.
Bears who have lost their compassion and their bearity. Who think only of lining their cookie jars with as many cookies as they can horde for themselves and then pat themselves on the back when they share the crumbs with poor down on their luck bears.  

The time has come to take
back the wealth that we
earned and redistribute it
among ALL THE BEARS!!

 

 

 

My only promise to voters--bear and wolf alike--is that every bear will get what every bear deserves. And every bear deserves ONLY what he or she works for. There will be no free cookies, pies, or ice cream under my regim.. er administration. You get out of the cookie jar only what you can put back into it. I vow to restore the work ethic that has sorely been missed on the bear shelf to date.

 

I sincerely believe that once this work ethic has been restored, bears and wolves . . . stuffed animals everywhere . . . would be able to live on a shelf where all are equal in societal and governmental responsibilities and rewards, and no animal, bear or otherwise, will profit at the expense of other animals. Because of that belief and because I think that the time has come I am announcing my candidacy for premie.. er president of the bear's bear shelf for the nomination of the Red Panda Party. Thank you comrad.. er ladies and gentlebears."

 

Scarl-Bear and Cajun-Bear "comrades" of Rvnwolf-Bear?

How much did they know...and when did they know it?

Marblehead: Independent Presidential Candidate Scarl-Bear returning to his office this afternoon was shocked to see a gaggle of reporters flocked around his door. "What is the reason for this visit?" he joked "Surely you aren't here to congratulate me for my 2% showing in the latest poll."
    Actually the reason that the reporters were there we because they were armed with the photo above and lot's of questions. The pic clearly shows Red Panda Candidate Rvnwolf-Bear (left in highlight) playing in the snow with Scarl-Bear (right) and (Ursa Party candidate) Cajun-Bear (center)When asked how well he knew Rvnwolf-Bear, Scarl-Bear replied "Rvnwolf who?". He was then shown the picture. "Yeah that's me in that pic but honestly he's a friend of Cajun-Bear's that was visiting her the same time, I honestly don't know anything about this, Rvnwolf-Bear was it?" When asked about the mysterious meeting in his office two weeks ago. Scarl-Bear replied. "Rvnwolf-Bear MIGHT have been here it's possible. In the course of creating our campaign we consulted with lots of people. Including Rvnwolf-Bear I believe. That doesn't mean I knowing anything about his Red Panda philosophy or his Pandist beliefs. And it certainly doesn't mean I condone or accept them"
 
Lori's Office District: Ursa Party Candidate and political activist Cajun-Bear was expecting a big turnout at her press conference today. But even she was shocked at the size of the media presence. She was even more surprised when all the questions seemed to involve her relationship with Red Panda Candidate Rvnwolf-Bear. "Rvnwolf-Bear? What's he gone and done now?" she asked. When told of his announcement she replied. "Well the last time I checked this was still a free bear shelf and you were allowed to express your beliefs however radical they might be. And you were allowed to run for political office with whichever party came closest to your own politcal philosophy Pandist or otherwise. But aside from that I must point out that I barely know the bear ( Rvnwolf-Bear) and that even though I support his right to free speech I don't necessarily agree with what he stands for."
 
Bear Shelf 2, Lori's Office District: If one wasn't careful one could have gotten trampled by the stampede of Presidential Candidates and other politicians who were in a hurry to put as much of the Bear Shelf's real estate between themselves and Pandist poltician Rvnwolf-Bear as they possibly could. Bruin Party candidate Simon ( above right) just happened to be campaigning in the Bear Shelf's biggest district at the same time that Lawrence Sterling III ( above left) was home visiting his family. This created an opportunity for a rare double appearance (fanning the flames of the rumour that there may be a Simon / Sterling Bruin ticket in the future.) but it seems that the subject they most wanted to talk about was Red Panda party candidate Rvnwolf-Bear and what possible connection there might be with Ursa Party Candidate Cajun-Bear. "This is a question that simply must be answered Simon said today "we can't afford to rest until we know the truth of what connection there is between a popular candidate with one of our major parties (Cajun-Bear of the Ursa Party) and a Pandist subversive who is out to destroy everything that the citizens of the Bear Shelf hold dear." "He insulted me, he called me a capitalist pig" Sterling put in. "It will be a cold day in the Master Bedroom district before a bear like that is allowed to lead this great bear shelf let me tell you."
 

Front Runner Teddy Bear visits farm show in Lori's Sofa District. Agree's with Cajun-Bear's take of the Rvnwolf-Bear Scandal. Is jubilant at latest poll results.

Lori's Sofa District: Ursa Party Candidate Teddy Bear was making a campaign stop talking to farmers at a farm show when he heard the news of Red Panda candidate Rvnwolf-Bear's announcement. "Well I agree with Cajun-Bear's assesment of the situation. It's a free bear shelf as long as we don't have to vote for him. And as long as I am in the lead in the campaign we have nothing to worry about." He was refering to his continued status as the leader in the polls for both the Ursa Party nomination and as well as the election.
 

Latest poll results show Teddy clear leader Simon makes comeback. Sterling inches up

The latest poll results show changing trends among the candidates. This graphic (right) shows the latest results as well as their variation in points from last Friday's poll. Voters were also asked what party they prefered. The Ursa Party is still the prefered party by 63% to 35%. The Ursas would like to nominate Teddy by 39% Brownie 41% and Cajun-Bear 20%. (Brownie is gaining some support from cross over Bruin voters). The Bruin's want Simon by 69% to 31% for Sterling. BUT they would support a Simon / Sterling ticket (17%). The most popular ticket though would be Teddy Bear / Brownie with 54%. 20% thought that Teddy Bear / Cajun-Bear would be a winner. 7% didn't like any of the proposed tickets.
