<p>Absolutely your son should proceed with plans. If they coordinate between MOCs and senatorial noms, they’ll figure it out. He should run hard until the blue folder is in hand, following through on all issues. His w/drawal has little, nothing to do with his friends’ situations. And if they are deemed worthy of nomination, that will have nothing to do with your son. There would appear to be no interdependency here at this point in time. And it would be an erroneous assumption that your son’s w/drawal would enhance others chances.</p>
