My account is accurate. I didn't ascribe motive for his withdrawal from the two elections, just recounted that he had withdrawn.
As for Orlando, he withdrew prior to any balloting taking place. There were still multiple candidates, and the unanimous vote for Scrappy came after a lengthy MEC Executive session. I don't believe your version of the events conforms with the facts and timeline of that election.
It appears 54 has done some website housecleaning (I can't find any files in their library archives) but I remember AA explaining his vote for KR was exactly because he didn't have enough MEC support and knew he couldn't win. I'm sure somebody will be able to find the doc and correct my memory if it is wrong.
