Paul is a better person on exec anyway just because he won't sell his soul for a position (look at what FBK has done to make so many power-hungry, including Atkins). In future years, I hope other communities (minorities included) are represented on tickets, so it does not seem like select groups will always be on the ticket (to produce a winning formula).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14998306.post-4780909728957799122008-02-14T04:10:00.000-05:002008-02-14T04:10:00.000-05:00I do not think Will Atkins was considered for an e...I do not think Will Atkins was considered for an exec spot.

Sucks he is staying at UF another year for nothing. Yooni is another interesting choice. Duque, do you feel she was chosen because of her heritage?

I consider myself a moderate on all issues. Tommy and I have very different backgrounds, very different viewpoints, and some different issues but we both agree that SG can be changed for the better and looking at the field of candidates we believe we are qualified to do so. Besides O&B is based on a team effort, every individual involved matters, every individual involved counts, from the Party President to the Senate candidates down to the roommate that wears a shirt for a day.<BR/><BR/>Also the simple fact that you believe that there is some sort of "throne" on the non-system side is laughable at best (we are the anti-system after). I invite you out to our meeting next week to truly see how a real team works together on issues that we care about. Better yet, I invite you out to Pugh Hall at 6:30PM for either the online voting celebration or rally tomorrow (depending upon the Supreme Court outcome). This is actually a group of friends gathering for an issue we all care about.<BR/><BR/>Also I am always available for lunch and dinner when I am not working on CTV or working to pay my bills. If we eat in the Reitz I will even pay with my FlexBucks :lol:. Feel free to e-mail me at frank005 [at] ufl [dot] edu.<BR/><BR/>Pd. Pol. Ad. K.
