… at least according to how many members each ticket has in their Facebook group. As of about 8 o’clock, when this post was written, the totals were:
Pat and James: 221
DW and Andrew: 183
Dietz and Stone: 154
Kyle and Brian: 147
Hayes and Madorsky: 126
Brown and Sevin: 102
Anna and Schuyler: 58
Karwacki and Farrar: 26
Big up to Pat and James, but there’s more to running for GUSA than getting all your friends to join a Facebook group. With that in mind, I hope these superlatives will tide you over until the Voice Editorial Board comes out with its official endorsement on Thursday.
Best non-all male ticket: Anna and Schuyler. That was kind of a no-brainer.
Best ticket using the logo of a clothing line: Hayes and Madorsky. H&M? Really? I know that their clothing is affordable and generally well-made, but your logo is going to make people want to go shopping, not vote for you.
Best platform: Karwacki and Farrar. Also a no-brainer. A few choice samples:
Kick Ass / Take Names
Stick it to the Man, Fuck the Police, AND Hate on Whitey
Be your wingman
Best relations with the Grab & Go lady: Brown and Sevin. At least, according to the picture in their Facebook group. I think that’s the first time I’ve ever seen her smile, not counting the times when she catches you trying to take two drinks.
Best ticket without a Facebook group: Angert and Kluger. Maybe the class of 2011 hasn’t discovered that function of Facebook yet?
Best ticket counting on JT’s sexiness: DW and Andrew. Hey, it worked for Ben and Matt. (I watched their “Saxaback” video last night, but it has since been removed from YouTube—maybe it was too saxy?. I’ll update with the link if it’s reposted.)

my favorite part of the karwacki/farrar platform was something they mentioned at ed board: trying to work with nearby retailers to sell condoms and institute some kind of reward system for those who buy the most.
angert and kluger have officially called it quits. i like to think that even if we freshman can’t mount a successful GUSA campaign we’re pretty adept with facebook.
apparently dw and andrew’s phenomenal music video was pulled because of unauthorized use of jack the bulldog. they said they’re negotiating right now and that they’ve also got another video in the works.
You know, considering this is an election with Instant Runoff Voting, it’d be kind of cool if the Voice did IRV endorsements (at least for a few of the slots).
So, we think X is the best ticket, but we think the second-best is y, third is z (probably don’t want to go too far down that line — hate to get pegged as the worst ticket). Still, it’d definitely help some candidates and allow more thought to go into when students are ranking their ballots.
And when I said “kind of cool,” I meant really nerdy. But cool, nonetheless.
How could you forget “putting out” on Karwacki’s platform….
