After all, Serj is their boss. Paul, don’t forget that the government bureaucracy will vote for Serj for the fear of getting fired and for their job security. After all, Serj is their boss.

Perhaps with a lot of choices, seeing as I've heard of quite a few who dislike both Levon and Serge, they won't be forced into voting for either. I think quite a few said they disliked Serge but would vote for him over Levon, but then again I'm sure there's a lot of the opposite as well. That said, I think with Serge being such an established candidate, so many others getting involved would be a bad thing since he'll maintain his large block of votes while the average voter who opposes him has no clear choice. Since someone besides Serge needs to reach a plateau of votes to force a run-off, it seems many candidates would be worse (for those tired with the crap that goes on in this administration, and in my opinion for Armenia) than a few.
