Announcing this early would be...I have to disagree. Announcing this early would be an awful move. One: It would get lost among every other piece of SG crap being spit out in the Alligator over the next week.<BR/><BR/>Second, people will lose interest. It will be old news in the Spring, worthy of maybe a mention in an editorial, whereas the Gator party will garner the front page with the Presidential announcement, and then another article about sham interviews for the other two positions.<BR/><BR/>Finally, consider that the party will be a much different party in 5 months. More issues will arise. Issues that other Senators might be able to pursue to a greater extent than Sam and Mcshera. The "benefit" of announcing now would do nothing more than lock the party into a stale position come January.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, and Miorelli is about as electable and likable as well... nothing. His message rings well via text, but if you have ever heard the tone of which he speaks and the attitude he brings forth to a debate, he's more likely to turn his party and voters off than to solidify the independent movement.<BR/><BR/>Brocco would make an excellent leader for the Party. He embodies the ideals, but also the ability to effectively work with others to get things done, which is completely necessary in a SG that really has no power. Sadly, I don't think he will return next year. Cavataro is a strong individual but has yet to prove his ability to LEAD others, which will ultimately hinder him when his age is taken into account. McShera would be a good balance as well, and I agree in that he could be an effective VP that would be able to publically lead the party beneath the Presidential candidate.<BR/><BR/>As for treasurer, I would look at somebody with significant financial experience on either Budget Com. or a hefty Student Organization. The last candidate was a disaster compared to Drayton (no offense). At this point, I have no idea who that could be, which leads more to the same fact: the ticket needs to remain undecided until January.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
