For example, the senate race of fall 2009 where all the senators kept their seats. Not only did that election feel rigged, the president at the time ,Saathoff's former partner in crime, applauded the election results stating that means that they have done a good job. Maybe the reason no one wanted to run against any of the senators is because the senate positions are only won by members of one party... I see Saathof's switch to a "blue" party platform as a political gimmick to trick the student population into thinking that there is a true diverse representation in SG. What a joke. I am going to vote for so much Yellow and Blue(besides for president) that the red party will be Green with Envy.

The Red, Yellow, Green, Blue or whatever color a group chooses to run with doesn't represent the same thing from year to year.....If they tell you that, they are lying.....If you have questions about who is going to address the issues close to you and how they are going to address them...then talk to them! Go to the Debate, or take 5 minutes out of your time on campaign day and actually meet the candidates you are voting for. Don't just blindly fill out the ballot because someone gave you a card with a pretty picture on it! With all the problems with the current budget, you want to put people in SG who have a game plan...not just someone with a catchy slogan, pretty face, or with letters on their chest....just my two cents..

I know that the Yellow Party has students who while they may not have student government experience, they are active on campus. I'm the commenter who said that they wanted some new people to run for Student Government. The truth is that the Student Government has a system in place to teach new students coming in about the Student Government Constitution and procedures and they do a wonderful job of it. What they don't do a wonderful job about is informing students about events ahead of time. I know that the current administration attempted to have town hall meetings. That's a start, but if they don't actually listen to students then it's all for nothing. @ Minority Student

It might sound refreshing having an outsider to come in and run our SG but the impact of having novices running politics and the risk of that is simply too great. Without an understanding of how the system works and what should be done when the 3 AM phone call rolls by, it puts the future of all Ospreys at potential risk. While I appreciate the courage these candidate are making and appauld them of the desire to make our SG better, the risk of no experience on the job is simply too great.
