DJ Zazzy Yas blasts over the airwaves to anyone tuned in to 101.1 WHAM! "I apparently have to say that anything I am about to say is my opinion only." There is a short pause as she looks to the producer who is staring at her through the soundproof glass in her radio studio with his arms crossed. He gives a nod and she continues in her energetic voice, "Ok, now to the good stuff. Now for those of you who missed the election debates this year, I got the juiciest gossip about-" There was another pause and she continues slowly this time, staring back at the man behind the soundproof glass, "I mean, I have my opinion on what was said during the thing. "Anyway"

The host, Mr. Dib Jaster Aurene opened with the opening introductions. Poor Audrey Horne was sick at home, so her wife, Magenta came in her place. Fionna Helston and Kruger Allen were there, though. Questions hit topics of interspecies marriage, organized crime, animal abuse " don't ask, The Watch, and about our local schools and libraries. They ended with their closing statements about their platforms, but I don't know why since none of them were wearing any platform shoes, but they're nice to talk about I guess. Let's break the evening down, shall we"

In the opening remarks, Magenta gave an eloquent speech about her wife, listing her "business sense and youthful ideals", as well as that she still remembers what it's like to be a newcomer here, giving her extra perspective. Fionna started out by cutting down her two running mates. She said that the role of governor "is a serious job, not one to be undertaken by dilettantes or by those who would wield their power like a hammer." Now, that remark about a hammer had to be a direct blow to Kruger, the blacksmith. But why compliment Audrey as a debutante, when she goes on to insult Magenta by saying, "I wish Ms. Horne were present." Like Magenta isn't good enough to talk to' Who doesn't love Magenta" Kruger, in turn, said simply, if you like things they way they are, keep voting for the Governor Helston. Sounds like solid logic to me.

The first question of the night was "What is your current stance on undead interspecies robot marriage?" No cool news to report here, as all the candidates seem to support love in all its many forms. Magenta wins that question in my book with her response, "Well, I guess I'd suggest they live together for a few months first just to figure out what fits where" I mean that's always a good idea..." I tend to agree. I always enjoy a good fit myself" What' What' I didn't say anything. Don't look at me like that behind your glass window" Ok, so apparently, I need to have another talkin" to, so listen to this and I'll be back after a short break. And don't forget to check back this evening and every evening up until the election. I'll be playing the direct recording from the election debate transcripts for "unbiased coverage" of the debate cuz Reilly Recording wanted to be able to cover their a——

Debate Recap: Ani-Mal-low Abuse

DJ Zazzy Yas here following up with the next installment of the debates, and the producer man staring at me from behind the soundproof glass wants me to repeat that all these ideas are mine and Reilly Recording can not be sued for what I say. So, with that being said, I guess I can say whatever I want, so here goes"

The next question given by Dib Jaster Aurene was "Mr. Wystansayr allegedly has it on good authority that....someone in this town engages in punching kittens for sport. Do each of you approve or disapprove of violence against animals?" All of the candidates in question agreed that animal abuse should not be tolerated, but dueling is fair game. I got the scoop on this silly question and apparently what happened was once at the duels, Kruger fought against Rachel Douglas's kitten, Mallow. I have to side in Kruger's defense on this one since the kitten jumped in the duels to fight, but who can fight a poor, innocent kitten" What kind of a man is this!"! Just kidding, Krugs.

The next question was posed by Shai Vevea. "The Watch is definitely not doing what they are supposed to and each land tariff seems to have their own laws that they govern by and not the laws of Rhydin. What have you done or will you do while in office to personally see to the aiding of bringing these groups (organized crime) under control?" This was the first serious question pitched to Governor Helston first. She felt like they discussed crime enough and wanted to move on to the next question. Magenta agreed but Kruger was willing and eager to answer. He got turned down in a hands up vote 2 to 1 so they moved on, and I have to too.

Before we get to the last question about education, I gotta play another song. And don't forget to listen this evening to hear the full recording of the debate focusing on the candidates and the host. I don't know about you, but I hate when people talk over the main event, so for your listening pleasure all the background buzz has been edited out so you can focus on the questions and the candidates. So, now for that quick music break" Here it is. Demi Lovato with "Give Your Heart a Break".

Debate Recap: Closing Statements

DJ Zazzy Yas here and now for the closing statements for the governor debate. Well, apparently, Reilly Recording says if I play one person's final remarks, I have to play all of them. So I'm not gonna. They think they can hold me down! So here's my sum up. Magenta got to issue her closing statement first. She started out by thanking the other candidates, and ended with thanking everyone. Very sweet. You are certainly welcome, Magenta!

Governor Helston made her closing remarks next. Now, I'll be honest. Her closing was very long and I'm sure she saying some incredible life changing stuff, but I may have fallen asleep. But! I woke up for her afterthought statement which she offered good luck to the two other candidates and thanked the audience. Kruger rounded them out and began by thanking the other two and ended with his beginning point that if you are happy with the way things are, do not vote for him. Blah blah. Broken record. Governor Helston seemingly did not like that last part either and muttered something. A decent politician should always have the last word. Good job!

Interested in what she and everyone else said" Stay tuned for the 2012 RhyDin Gubernatorial Debate Recording featuring the host and the three candidates. Til next time, enjoy music, enjoy life, and go out and vote! Now for a commercial break.

When Kruger arrived at his forge he discovered a palm size black leather bag had been left on the anvil, inside were seven cut and polished gemstones, one in each color of the rainbow, and a not that read.

I liked what you said at the debate and I would like to make a contribution to your campaign for governor. The appraised value of these gems is 25,000 silver crowns I hope it will help.

The crowd quieted as the final tally was read off. Kruger stepped up onto a table. He nodded to those he had come to know well during the campaign. He didn't bother to check if there was any press present before beginning his final words for this group.

"I would like to begin by offering my congratulations to Fionna on her victory. To Audrey my condolences on our shared defeat. When I began this journey, I had nothing more than a dream of change and little support. Over the last several weeks many moved to back me, and together we raised our voices to make a great noise. To those who have been with me through this process, thank you I would not change a single moment of our association."

"The road has ended this year, but we must continue on a less travelled pathway. I will support the current administration, but that support will always be with an air of caution. First in my mind will be the question, how does this serve the people of Rhydin" I will ask the hard questions where others may lower their eyes, and bow their heads"or simply adjust their chairs."

"I look forward to the new year and the charitable celebrations that Rhydinian's always dig so deeply for, the greatest of which must be the charity called Rhydin. I will continue to support Rhydin, with the strength and firmness you have come to know from The Anvil."

He stepped back down, embracing his closest supporters, and thumping them on the back.
