32 CommentsWell dressed and well rehearsed, CCSC E-board candidates strut their stuff for the final time this evening in Wien Lounge, as they debated for the second time, trying to wrangle every last vote before the moratorium on campaigning Tuesday morning. Alidad and George, both looking dapper with slightly loosened ties, recited their stumps as a meager crowd shuffled around trays of chicken wings and curly fries, clearly more interested in gastronomy than governance. A few interesting facts emerged, such as Donna Desilus’s revelation that “Alidad is a critical thinker.”
Mostly press and current CCSC members, the very brief question and answer period was devoted mostly to answering pragmatic problems posed by current VP Campus Life Lindsey Lazopoulos and Student Services Molly Conley.
Stay tuned tomorrow for Bwog Personals for Alidad and George as well as final endorsements counts.

@cba321 VOTE CONNECT COLUMBIA!!!!!!!!!!
@please don't VOTE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!
@I can't wait to see how this election with 10% voter turnout ends!
@OH FOR THE LOVE OF It’s spelled W-I-E-N. How hard is it to put the I before the E?
@Senior Experience Columbia did not even listen, let alone answer the questions posed to them and with a little research, you’ll discover they actually do not have the better platform! I feel more passionate about them not winning than I do about Connect winning
@actually you’re completely wrong…and i really hope you, caring so much about ccsc politics, are not a senior
@... VOTE ON THE QUALITY OF THE ENTIRE TICKET
NOT BASED ON YOUR LIKE/DISLIKES FOR KREBS OR ALIDAD.
@Bethmann-Hollweg Alidad is possibly the most insufferable person on campus.
@also there were wayyyy too much JJs
@if you want michelle diamond round II, vote connect…
@poster #2 and #16 Hey, I posted on #2 and #16, both censored (this is my third different computer). Anyway, why does Bwog keep censoring me? Comment #16 didn’t even mention the “C-word” (and no, it’s not dirty, it’s just another blog), and yet they still deleted the post. Why are you guys being so spastic? As a regular reader I think I – and we – deserve an answer!
@not w/ commentariat Wow! Bwog is deleting comments recommending The Commentariat’s coverage of CCSC election debates! (#2, maybe #16)
That is decidedly not legitimate or productive behavior. The Commentariat’s coverage (while usually absolutely horrendous) has simply been better for this event.
Bwog, less censorship plz?
@whoa I had no idea people cared this much. Weird.
@and its WIEN not WEIN lounge. WIEN means vienna and WEIN means wine. get it right.
@did anybody go to the senate debate?
the wilhelm girl is fucking unbelievable – i have never met a single person less deserving to be here. i want to know what other people thought of her…
@lemonade why couldn’t the lemon party field a candidate for e-board president?
@VOTE EXPERIENCE COLUMBIA.
STOP SPAMMING THE WEBSITE. THEY CLEARLY HAVE THE BETTER PLATFORM. HAVE THE MOST ENDORSEMENTS FROM THE LARGER CLUBS. THEIR CAMPAIGN INVOLVES NO OUTSIDE BEHIND THE SCENES POLITICS. MICHELLE D., LIZ S., CALVIN SUN, GLENN T., AND ALL YOU OTHER POLITICAL CRONIES; YOUR GAME IS OVER. ALSO CALVIN, STOP WRITING ON BWOG EVERY OTHER SECOND.
@vyi LAURA DOAN IS INCOMPETENT, SUPERFICIAL, AND NOT A NICE PERSON…SHE IS THE MOST FAKE PERSON YOU’LL EVER MEET AND WILL ONLY BE NICE TO YOU IF SHE WANTS TO USE YOU FOR SOMETHING…i am saying this from personal experience…..
VOTE CONNECT COLUMBIA!!!!!!!!!!
@VoteVoteVote I have known one of the people in Experience Columbia for several years, and he ONLY says hello to me in the few weeks before he is running for something. The rest of the year, he does not ever say hello to me. So I will second the VOTE CONNECT COLUMBIA!!!
@this comment needs to be deleted.
it’s just mean.
@im voting for the guy who said krebs looks like an ape. do ppl really vote/care?
@hmm …but this sounds more like “Bwog got there late” edition. Or maybe it was really that boring.
@random no one cares who wins but the candidates themselves
@no... we’re not.
it is enough to take one look at krebs. he looks like some kind of ape. almost like bush.
@hmm x 2 Also, it’s completely normal not to care about CCSC elections, but if you’re planning to base your decision on physical appearances, why the fuck bother voting in the first place? You’re just making it worse.
@hey #5 …we arent voting for him
@hey #6 we are. Or at least we’re voting for his ticket.
@... i might have expected alidad to be boring, but krebs too? if not for charming faux pas, why are we voting for him?
@yes the font size has changed and it’s freakin me out. bwog, please do not change your font size!! I need the consistency of bwog’s font size in this chaotic and absurd world!!! IS THERE NO GOD????
@... something is different. i don’t know what… font size? font? something… it’s bugging me… what is different?
@That's it? That’s your report of the debate? I mean, you might as well have said “There was a debate between Alidad & George”. Come on, let’s have a review of what happened for those who couldn’t attend…
@If you want a debate Bwog didn’t deem to cover the CTV News/Spec debate at all, but you can watch it yourself:
