The electorate is going to be about the same size it always is with decent competition, 7500-9500.<BR/><BR/>Neither indie party is strong enough to drive out voter turnout to where it needs to be. Unite could have driven turnout up with direct mail, tv and radio but by forgoing these options they will get in the same range the system always does.<BR/><BR/>Basically turnout will be average and the indies better hope for a miracle that suppresses Unite's turnout.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14998306.post-26023521131306702812009-02-24T10:39:00.000-05:002009-02-24T10:39:00.000-05:00The day forever fortunate has arrived, which the U...The day forever fortunate has arrived, which the UF Students people have consecrated to TheBenDictor. Never has the world which He created offered to Him a spectacle so worthy of His notice. He has seen reigning on the earth tyranny, crime, and imposture. He sees at this moment a whole nation, grappling with all the oppressions of the human race, suspend the course of its heroic labors to elevate its thoughts and vows toward the great Being who has given it the mission it has undertaken and the strength to accomplish it.<BR/><BR/>Is it not He whose immortal hand, engraving on the heart of the students the code of justice and equality, has written there the death sentence of tyrants? Is it not He who, from the beginning of time, decreed for all the ages and for all peoples liberty, good faith, and justice?<BR/><BR/>He did not create kings to devour the human race. He did not create priests to harness us, like vile animals, to the chariots of kings and to give to the world examples of baseness, pride, perfidy, avarice, debauchery, and falsehood. He created the universe to proclaim His power. He created men to help each other, to love each other mutually, and to attain to happiness by the way of virtue.<BR/><BR/>It is He who implanted in the breast of the triumphant oppressor remorse and terror, and in the heart of the oppressed and innocent calmness and fortitude. It is He who impels the just man to hate the evil one, and the evil man to respect the just one. It is He who adorns with modesty the brow of beauty, to make it yet more beautiful. It is He who makes the mother's heart beat with tenderness and joy. It is He who bathes with delicious tears the eyes of the son pressed to the bosom of his mother. It is He who silences the most imperious and tender passions before the sublime love of the fatherland. It is He who has covered nature with charms, riches, and majesty. All that is good is His work, or is Himself. Evil belongs to the depraved man who oppresses his fellow man or suffers him to be oppressed.<BR/><BR/>God I love TheBenDictorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14998306.post-8244238944310728102009-02-24T01:49:00.000-05:002009-02-24T01:49:00.000-05:00Who wants to bet $10 that Anon 8:11 is either a fr...Who wants to bet $10 that Anon 8:11 is either a freshman or new to this game?<BR/><BR/>O&B and Progress have done nothing to rally the students, the average student doesn't care that Greeks run SG. They could really care less. The average student also cannot relate to a bunch of Hume kids who think they are creating a revolution. Start making your campaigns centered around likable individuals who can relate to students and rally their support instead of fringe dorks who are socially awkward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14998306.post-25936872646529231972009-02-23T23:43:00.000-05:002009-02-23T23:43:00.000-05:00Best ad ever, it is even on television http://www....Best ad ever, it is even on television http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl-5lswwriQAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14998306.post-70396488247260492282009-02-23T20:21:00.000-05:002009-02-23T20:21:00.000-05:00Oh no, my cover is blown!But seriously, I'm disapp...Oh no, my cover is blown!<BR/><BR/>But seriously, I'm disappointed Christian that you're letting such vicious slander of me appear on this blog. I've explained my background and current situation to anyone interested enough to ask.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, I had to do a lot work to put myself through community college (Chipola College) before I came to UF. I don't come from a privileged background . I wasn't able to live off mommy and daddy, so I didn't exactly get through community college at a fast pace. So yeah, I'm a little older than most students at UF.<BR/><BR/>I decided to take this semester off because of some academic issues. I frankly don't want to continue majoring in mathematics, and the administration isn't exactly thrilled with the idea of me switching majors. So rather than wasting anymore time on math this semester, I decided not to take classes and wait till the campaign is over before seeking employment. I'll probably start taking classes again in the summer.<BR/><BR/>As far as me screwing up SDS when I showed up, that is complete bullshit. I didn't probably even speak at a single SDS meeting for like 3 months. I just went along with whatever the leadership wanted. There has been some issues very recently concerning structure, but I never tried to turn SDS in any direction. I have always been committed to the ideals and missions we have got behind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14998306.post-37810363510923857252009-02-23T10:56:00.000-05:002009-02-23T10:56:00.000-05:00I meant PC organization in my last post, not PC fr...I meant PC organization in my last post, not PC frat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14998306.post-76019232859503664132009-02-23T00:37:00.000-05:002009-02-23T00:37:00.000-05:00Christian, I will e-mail you my projections so you...Christian, I will e-mail you my projections so you can have them for your enjoyment.

But then, getting 10K+ people to vote in a fall election was unreal. So what do I know?<BR/><BR/>As I said over on my blog, the historic average would put Unite at 46%, O&B at 33%, and Progs in the low teens. If turnout is as predicted, Anon 8:11 is predicting something not too far off the historic average, so rather a safe guess, although they seem to be more bullish on White than I'd be at this point.<BR/><BR/>I won't be too bold in my guesses as to who wins, but I'd put money on Molly Flynn (O&B-Pharmacy) winning because of her conscientious GOTV efforts in the satellite campuses. Oh, and while Progs might even win a seat or two in Grad, we all know who will win Fresh and Soph barring an "Epic Fail".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14998306.post-26380823655749183932009-02-22T20:11:00.000-05:002009-02-22T20:11:00.000-05:00Christian,Your post is nothing more than a challen...Christian,<BR/><BR/>Your post is nothing more than a challenge to the Progs. There is no way that they are not going to support O & B and forfeit the entire independent movement. We can look to the recent events in national politics, Hillary and Obama, and see that this is not likely to happen. Progs will support O & B and they can work out the details later. There is no way they would support Unite.<BR/><BR/>My prediction is<BR/><BR/>1. A runoff between Unite and 0 & B<BR/><BR/>this will happen in both races P/VP and T<BR/><BR/>2. The totals will be <BR/><BR/>12,000 to 13, 000 votes<BR/><BR/>In the P/VP race<BR/><BR/>Unite - 6,000<BR/>O & B - 4,500<BR/>Prog - 1,500<BR/><BR/>In the Treas. Race<BR/><BR/>Unite - 5,000<BR/>O & B - 5,500<BR/>Prog - 1,500<BR/><BR/>In a run-off the Progs ABSOLUTELY will endorse and support O & B.<BR/><BR/>Cash is king in a run-off so I hope both sides have saved up. Voter turn-out is lower the second time around, as most voters feel they have done their civic duty by voting the first time.<BR/><BR/>Runoff P/VP- I find it hard to predict this, post the national election. If the campus turns out in the first election, then we can expect a higher voter turn-out and possibly an O & B victory.<BR/><BR/>Run-off Treas - If I were Laguna I would get down on my knees, because with the majority of the indies behind him, the AA's, and experience, White sealed the deal on this one by simply securing a spot on McShera's slate.<BR/><BR/>White certainly was the smartest player this time around. His victory is the only certainty in this campaign, that and that Freshman and Sophomore will go to Unite!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14998306.post-27466186005896388282009-02-22T16:41:00.000-05:002009-02-22T16:41:00.000-05:00Christian, when do you start talking shit about th...Christian, when do you start talking shit about the new rival blog?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14998306.post-3835367734737847372009-02-22T11:56:00.000-05:002009-02-22T11:56:00.000-05:00Why is there approval on comments?Why is there approval on comments?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14998306.post-6965094875986727282009-02-22T11:55:00.000-05:002009-02-22T11:55:00.000-05:00He does not.
