Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin campaigning for Tom Udall

[NewJeffCT]

New Mexico senate candidate.

We all know our beloved author of A Song of Ice and Fire keeps a very busy schedule, and has many varied and outside interests. That includes the politics of his home state, New Mexico.

With the US election only weeks away, and the Senate in the balance, Martin is stepping up to help incumbent Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM) to retain his seat. Udall was first elected to the Senate in 2008. If he’s successful, this will be his second term serving the people of New Mexico.

To that end, Martin is hosting a fundraiser on Udall’s behalf at his personal cinema in Santa Fe on October 7th. Anyone can enter to win and meet Martin. If you do enter and win, I would’t advise asking when The Winds of Winter is coming out. Remember, every time you ask, Martin kills another Stark. You might try to ask about certain fan theories though, and see how far you get.

1. Well, it's good to see that he's not a bagger. Not surprising, tho. Most creative

people are liberal-leaning. I think it's because they don't listen to their lizard brain, LOL.

3. After Bush "won" in 2004

Martin posted a quote from Thomas Jefferson on his website about how this reign of witches will soon pass...

7. GRRM was

also so depressed he couldn't write. I totally blame Bush for the long wait between book 4 and book 5

2. Two basic types in fandom

Left Leaning Liberals
Libertarians

By definition tea party type republicans are not present. The folks in fandom don't want to get into other people's personal business. Many are economically conservative though (see Robert Heinlein).

4. I'm glad I can continue to love GOT!

5. If Udall campaigns on a platform of guaranteeing Martin will finish the series in the next

five years, he'll win by a landslide!

6. He'll be elected emperor of the USA!

First of his name!
