On the Tom Zarek article, please give a reason behind reverts. --The Merovingian (C - E) 22:27, 11 July 2006 (CDT)

Sir: Here is what I wrote in the discussion section for that article:

No evidence that Zarek convinced Baltar to run for prez

I know of no evidence in the show that supports the following statement:

"...Zarek decides not to run against her because he realizes he probably won't win the election...but he decides that there's someone else that might be able to unseat Roslin, vice president Gaius Baltar. Zarek manages to talk vice president Gauis Baltar into running in his place..."

As far as the scenes actually broadcast in the show are concerned, Baltar makes his decision to run for the presidency entirely on his own, probably on the spur of the moment at Roslin's press conference, and never with any prior consultation with Zarek. It is not the case that Zarek "manages to talk" Baltar into "running in his place..." The above statement imagines more contrivance on Zarek's part than is supported by the facts.

I'd reccomend pulling it from the article into the talk page. Nobody appears to be citing any podcast/etc. material for that line, so it should be grounded in the aired content cited. If it isn't, then it doesn't belong. --Steelviper 10:52, 12 July 2006 (CDT)
