"Okay so it is clear that the best course of action will have to be well thought out, because we cannot go into this half cocked, We cannot take on the entire political system without knowing what we are doing, without planning out every aspect of our plan. We all have great resources within our campaigns to do some snooping, but we have to be smart about it." Scott looks at his best friends, smirking at the 'war room' that they have created.

"Marc, you need to keep an eye the campaign email, any email that pops up I want you to record somehow, discreetly." Megan and Scott have both taken control of the situation because Sarah is too angry to think logically and Marc is still in shock that this is happening. If it were up to Sarah they would call a press conference right now and call Bunker out, but it isn't the smartest way to go about this, and so her friends are there to help her get there.

"We need to keep an eye on all the campaigns, I mean the last person I would think would cheat would be Schwartz but we have to make sure." Marc has stopped denying that Bunker is cheating but he has to believe that one of the other candidates are too.

"I've been doing some research, ever since you told me what was happening, I don't know if any of the campaigns are entirely clean. There have been whispers, and the whispers are not kind to any candidate." Sarah clearly did not sleep at all and has pages and pages of research in front of her. She understands that politics is a dirty game, but she is not going to sleep until she is sure that they uncover everything that they need to uncover, she is not going into any situation half cocked and unprepared.

"Sarah, why don't you go rest for a little bit, we will wake you up if we come up with a plan, and I promise we will go through your research." Scott is clearly worried about Sarah, because she takes this cheating so seriously, it hurts her ideals.

"I'm fine, I'm not made of glass, people suck and politics are dirty, we knew this, let's try and make it less dirty okay? I think I found something, we need to build a strong enough case that this is an institutional failure, and then we need to find someone strong enough to be a third party candidate. It's late in the game but it's not impossible, we just need someone with enough clout." Sarah is determined to not let this get to her.

"You want to run a separate candidate while working on campaigns?" Marc can't believe that she is actually suggesting that. Sarah is the most loyal person that he knows, and even if she knows that her campaign is doomed she would never consider abandoning ship because it is just not who she is.

"Technically the third party candidate will not be running against any of the candidates in the races that we are employed for. We all are going back to school before the general election work, we are only employed for the primary races, therefore any third party candidate we help campaign will be outside of the races that we are employed for." Sarah may not show it but she has a devious brain and knows how to use it.

"That is genius Sarah, do you have anyone in mind?" Scott is impressed with Sarah and that she understands sometimes the rules of the game aren't inherently corrupt.

"Not yet, but I'm sure we will be able to find one, we have quite a bit of brain power here."

The four friends brainstorm well into the night.
