Ooh, that dog so scandalous!

Can you believe what you're seeing here?

I know I can't.

I can't believe our ADCO candidates have sunk this low.

But they have.

Here's proof. 

Bribery. It's a dirty but all too common word in politics. And it's found its way into ADCO Campaign 2008. Linda has been caught -- on camera -- bribing Lily. We don't know how long this atrocity has been taking place, but we think we have an idea as to why it's been happening.

Linda's campaign hasn't been doing well. Having failed to gain support from voters using respected means of persuasion, we think she must have decided to take a walk on the wild side, the dark side. 

Using animal crackers, Linda has been attempting to convince Lily to abandon her campaign for the top spot and to endorse the education candidate, Linda herself. Although tempted, Lily has remained steadfast. She has not withdrawn from the race; she has not endorsed another candidate. In fact, she is coming out against Linda's corrupt actions.

"I am just so sorry that I got mixed up in this unfortunate business. Truly, I didn't know what Linda was after. She just kept calling me into her office and holding out tasty treats for me to nibble on. I didn't know she was going to turn on me and demand my endorsement. Well, she won't get it. I'm still in this race, and I'm in it to win!"

Linda's next steps remain to be seen. Will she bow out of the race gracefully? Will she try to turn this negative press into positive votes? She'll take the weekend to think it over and to consult with her advisors on how to proceed. More on this scandal next week!

**Over the weekend, ponder this startling fact: Lily eats her own. Animal crackers of the world, beware!**
