Anyone have a decent summary of the candidates and their positions, or feel like doing a little write up?

Or a summary of what was talked about at the presidential debate?

Wright seems to be the best candidate and the only one.

I don't care about all the bollocks addressed by other candidates...

I care about two things the most (Priority at Mac) :

1-Decrease Tuition fees or stop them from increasing year by year.
2-Deal with the Mugsi. Either fire all the staff or change the software or get new hardware.

We don't have a choice about paying MSU fees. So Why don't we actually get someone who is going to deal with priority 1 problems head on.

Vote for Wright. (Engineers United)

Neither of those is something that can be directly addressed by the president, and to the best of my knowledge Wright hasn't promised either of those things. Quite frankly, he's way too knowledgeable to suggest unrealistic stuff like that.

Ryan, the Sil will be providing that info in their next addition!

And yes, Alicia actually has an injured leg (I'm not sure if its a break or another injury). She definitely isn't faking it.

Hi Sean,

I actually dislocated my knee cap. Thanks for inquiring, and thanks Andrew for mentioning it! I look forward to further discussion regarding the Presidential debate.

Polical Sciences, History and Classics, what, what, and chemical engineering?

Honestly, for me, its either Alicia: appears experienced, organized, concerned, polician-y, etc
Matt: experienced, good guy, engineer (woo), etc
and MDL has sensible, straight forward ideas..
.. the rest of the candidates either don't have clearly outlined platforms, don't have a website (shows lack of interest) or are ridiculous (lul)..
