Last year’s CCSC Exec Board race was, well, non-existent: Sue Yang’s ticket ran unopposed, marking a new low for non-competition for the top posts. For the first time in several years, though, a real race for the Executive Board could be in the offing, as the latest gossip hitting Bwog’s ears/inbox suggests there could be at least three people running for CCSC president. Yes, three! And it might be a competitive three!
Least surprising is 2011 president Learned Foote, who will try to succeed Yang after three years as class president. The two challengers whose names are out among the chattering few are ABC rep and Latino Heritage Month co-chair Isaac Lara and SGB/UC-CANF treasurer Eugenio Suarez. All three candidates’ tickets are supposedly close to being finalized–Bwog’ll have more as the final details fall into place.

@Noooo Cut Learned off before he blindly becomes President…again. What did he accomplish? Nothing. Seriously, Isaac Lara is the only level headed person running for President. Cut the crap and vote for someone who will actually accomplish things.
@Anonymous Eugenio has done some great work on SGB, and all of his candidates are involved in some campus organisation or another… TIME FOR SOME FRESH MEAT
go eugenio et al!
@ummmm Learned is more or less useless. He’s only interested in pursuing “gay politics” on campus and will pretty much ignore anything/anyone who isn’t part of that.
@Anonymous I have not heard of Eugenio, I’ve heard too much about Learned…Maybe it’s Isaac Time!
@friends if you ever get the chance to meet learned, you will understand how brilliant he is.
@oh man If Sean Udell ran for prezzzz ohhh myyy gaaahhh that would be pretty fucken amazinggggg
@Anonymous Yay Sean Udell!
@Anonymous I also choose to share my mediocre opinions as an anonymous user on a blog. Yay internet!
@Bah Who’s Isaac Lara? I think Eugenio would make a good candidate and I’m sick of seeing the word “foote” all over my e-mail.
Also, RT@yes But (I can only assume) no relation to this guy
@Anonymous Eugenio has been pretty helpful as SGB treas..
@Eh Learned had his run. Three years will still look great on paper. As a 2011, I’d prefer to diddly daddly onward. From nothing to nothing is expected, that’s fine, but a change of sight is best…and risky? Are we risky? Do any of us care about CCSC? Not really, but let’s be risky. Risky is sexy.
@Learned MIGHT be a nice guy but... Nice and favorable outcome don’t go hand in hand
@i wish i wish my name was teachth hands then learned and i would be soul mates!!!
@clearly after the disaster that was michelle diamond, and george what’s his face, sue has been doing an excellent job and learned has worked with Sue and CCSC, has the most experience so clearly he’s the best candidate…and since when does nice count as a quality at this school?
@learned learned foote is pretty amazing.
@sooo pretty much the reason so many people are running is that sue yang kicks ass. and now it’s like, “break me off a piece of that!”
@flying dutchman Sue totally rocks! CCSC has been incredibly well-run this year. Hopefully next year’s team continues a lot of the work she’s done.
@wow Learned Foote is pretty much the most amazing, hardest working, stunningly best looking candidate of them all! Gooooooooo Learned!
@Isaac is one of the nicest, smartest, most sincere people I have come across on this campus.
Now CCSC doesn’t mean much in the context of getting shit done, because even in the most capable hands, it just doesn’t wield any serious clout in decision-making… but in the borderline-irrelevant popularity contest that is CCSC, Isaac should win for being a great person.
@I love Columbia politics. Every year, there’s always a mention of a) class president (blank) does nothing b) (blank)’s great, (blank) works his ass off! and c) mention of an “outsider” ticket and rumormongering.
HILARIOUS.
@CCSC Alum Bad decision for there to be two \outsider\ tickets… That will certainly split the vote amongst those who will automatically vote against the \insider\ candidate.
If Lara and Suarez want any remote chance of winning, they would put ego aside and combine forces
@b.cline With any luck, the Instant Runoff Voting system the CCSC Elections Board introduced last year will prevent any spoiler effect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting
@fresh meat??? I hear Eugenio Suarez is putting together a great ticket
@eh learned’s not that great.
@Anonymous Learned is an incredibly wonderful person!
@I Like Isaac! It’s like “I Like Ike.”
@Anonymous his name is really Learned Foote?
@Yes But (I can only assume) no relation to this guy…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_Hand
@His parents are both huge lawyer nerds and decided to make his name a law pun. Truly, I pity him.
@I'm sorry Lerned foote is so awesome I would actually vote this year
@2011er and all members of 2011 know (or should) that he and the rest of his council do nothing (but look good doing it!)
@hmm you clearly didn’t get any roti roll last night…
