We'll have to set up a forum where each side can discuss their platforms and then let them campaign for 8 months filling the threads with intermittent advertisements 'approved' by each candidate er.. party! This should give the living an advantage since Dr. EZ is still among the living so you better offer up some nice perks Mac (wink, wink, nudge, nudge!).
Perks include:
Getting to keep your brain.
Not being sent to toil in the salt mines.
Less frequent beatings.
Access to clean food and water.
Discount on super zombie body gaurd services.
Punch and pie.
