Matt Who? A.K.A. The Silent Slate

I almost feel bad. I wish had more to say about Matt and Julia but they haven't put themselves out there. So what do we do? Vote for a slate that has put themselves out there but has had one of the slimiest campaigns I've seen, or vote for the silent duo who in the debates can only mimic the bad ideas of the other slate!

Yes, I'm throwing peanuts from the gallery from the safety of a mask. I know this, but we have to remember that President and Vice President are important and powerful roles. So I'll stay safely behind my mask and advocate that the students exercise their will and spoil their ballots. Telling all that you have to be of higher calibre to be our executive.

Can you elaborate on how this has been a "slimy campaign"?

Sure,

If you want to know what cost Pat and Scott the election. It was their supporters, Pat and Scott did nothing to rein them in and that is what cost them the election. By remaining silent on the subject they gave implicit consent to the personal attacks made by their supporters. Had Pat and Scott come out, in the comments on the blog, telling their supporters to tone it down then the majority of the damage to their campaign would have been avoided.
