Is there a source for his being "summarily imprisoned" as opposed to "imprisoned", i.e. for the lack of a trial? --CalculatinAvatar

Very interesting! :) Can we add the Vice President box with a spolier tag?? --Shane (T - C - E) 05:28, 21 March 2006 (CST)
Example setup:
Edit: Yeah. We would have to add a spolier tag on the top and this tag right before it if we did. And right now I don't think it should be there.
- For the record, you don't have to use the spoiler tags on the talk pages. They are considerd "spoiler-safe" zones in accordance to Battlestar Wiki:Spoiler Policy. -- Joe Beaudoin 08:43, 21 March 2006 (CST)
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.
