Raymond Reiley-Carrangus puts in work during his threeday, 19 city tour of Kalistan

Nobody can accuse Socialist Candidate for President of the Republic Raymond Reiley-Carrangus of not doing the hard work necessary to run for President.  "So often, the election falls into the lap of who ever happens to get the most votes, but this year, we actually did the work.  We got commitments for endorsements from other Parties, and we are aiming to build a grand coalition of people who care about Kalistan," Reiley said during a press stop between back to back campaign rallies.

When we caught up with the moderate socialist, he was 13 cities into a 19 city tour.  "We've been going for like two days straight.  I get some time to catch some shuteye on the bus, but to be honest, I hain't slept for more than a few minutes at a time since we started.  We're doing Ananto tomorrow, and then I am going to stay in Dahreil over night, and then head back home for some rest."

Reiley is working hard:  You'd almost think he was running a campaign against an opponent who was matching him stop for stop, ruble for ruble.  "Naw, we ain't even seen Oatis on the trail this time.  Or last time.  He just has his party put his name on the ballot and he doesn't even talk to people.  I mean, I don't even know what the dude looks like.  I never even seen him.  You might just call him a place holder."

The Reform President has been President of the Republic for most of the last 11 years, except during the term which was interrupted by the election fo another invisible candidate, Geniveve Smith.  "Nope, never saw her nutha," said Reiley.  "These people, they run, they get votes, and then they just sit around.  We got stuff to do, man!"

Reiley apologized for being punchy.  "Yeah, I've been up for 48 hours.  But you know what?  I am trying to show the people of Kalistan that I am serious!  My first mission is to put together a unified government that represents a governing majority.  They I want to appoint people to suitable portfolios and get the business of running the Country back in effect.  We havent had a functioning government since 61, and the country has sort of been on autopilot.  We need that to change."

Reiley has shown interest in revitalizing ODEN, supporting Kalistani institutions and handing control over policy to the cabinet members.  "They should be working for Kalistan.  Those aren't just seats.  Anyway.  Peace.  I am headed to Sulari next.  See ya."  And with that, Reiley disappeared back into his campaign bus, and within minutes, the bus was back on the road, to appearance number 14.
