The Statements
Rants The 2005 A.S. election candidate statements have been released, and the Presidential entries are a real fistful. First, read the statements. Here are our impressions: Daniel Watts: Not one item on this statement is truthful or feasible. A second Sun God? This is doomed. Turn the B spots into S spots? Awesome, and while we're at it we'll turn Galbraith Hall into a Raging Waters. Seriously, Watts just oozes insincerity, from his pizza-everyday promises to his Green Party affiliation (he's a conservative). Oh, and he looks like a rat. Kevin Hanson: Curiously, a vote for Revolution! seems to be a vote for the status quo. Hanson is the candidate least likely to affect change, but that might not necessarily be a bad thing. This statement screams politician and Hanson certainly is one. Why is he running? Because he can win. Christopher Sweeten: We like Sweeten's stances best, but everything about his campaign is wrong. For starters, "Student Empowerment!" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. And where are his gigantic bubble letters? The five 8.5" x 11" flyers at Roma don't really pack the same punch. Still, Sweeten calls his goals "realistic," and we tend to agree. But if he wants a realistic chance of winning, his campaign needs to shape up in a hurry. Can't he call those retired Students First! architects? Sure, they got themselves disqualified occasionally, but they got the votes for the slate. Oh wait, Jenn Brown is working in D.C., Kevin Hsu is studying at Georgetown, and Harish Nandagopal is drinking at Round Table. Keshav Boddula: This is, far and away, the worst-written statement we have ever seen. From the unfortunate mismash of verb tenses in his first sentence, we're guessing that "Kiki" scrawled it down during one of his philosophy lectures. Of course, he is the only candidate claiming to "recognize and utilize reason via logic." Can someone tell us what this kid is trying to do? Vote next week on Studentlink. Prescott Andover, Mar 30 2005, 01:43 AMsungod is cool because there's only one, that is what makes it such a sick day. Don't ruin it by putting on two shitty ones to take its place. With the candidates, pretty boy hanson should take it, at least he knows enough to keep from ruining anything. sweeten is a joke, and he is running a joke campaign, so ucsd should be safe from a prez who'll give all student money to the 100 folks in saac. watts, just go back to japan. Kiki, not worth the time it takes to type this. that's all. ![[TypeKey Profile Page]](http://www.youcsd.com/nav-commenters.gif) on March 30, 2005 01:58 PM
It's all perfectly feasible, Andy. Check out our complete budget and platform, something no other candidate has, at www.votesungod.com. on March 30, 2005 09:06 PM
Watts worked with the Greens and the Dems? The guy sounds (and looks) more Republican than Hanson. At least Boddula recognizes a wage problem with AFSCME. on March 31, 2005 03:23 PM
