With only a week more of campaigning left, both CCSC E-Board candidates are starting to gather up endorsements. While Spec, Christian groups and other heavyweights have yet to back a candidate, Camp Krebs got a big boost with a CU College Dems endorsement. Alidad countered with BSO’s first ever endorsement and is currently leading Krebs in Greek endorsements 2-1 (Alidad is a member of Beta).
The Arab and Muslim student groups are following former MSA President Adil Ahmed in supporting George while Korean student groups are doing the same for Jen Choi and Alidad. More endorsement gossip to come later in the week–so fret you not. Full endorsement list to date are after the jump.

@hmmmmmm..... Al Gore’s endorsement still surprisingly awaits.
@LE:MMOOONNNN MMYYYY OOHHH NIIIINNNEEE DOOOTTTT COOMMMM
@DHI I endorse Colin Drummond for President of the class of 2009.
Ya’ll should listen to me for the following reason: my view on this issue is correct. QED!
@Colin How can you say no to two colin’s? Especially when one considers the competition
@LE:MON Party!!! Colin Drummond is a hero to us all.
@Alidad Damooei Does George really tear down posters? if he did, that would be horrible. It’s important that we run a fair and balanced campaign. I don’t believe that my opponent would ever commit such an atrocity. He stands for the American way.
@Jeez what’s with the Krebs media hit-job? I highly doubt Krebs was going around taking down posters. Who paid you to say that?
And it’s funny that ConnectColumbia’s endorsements come basically exclusively from groups their members are involved in. I hope these candidates stay true to the issues instead of getting wrapped up in political pettiness for the rest of the campaign.
@beta? a frat really endorsed someone? and people are supposed to care about that? really?
@oh, i see they’re not the only ones. i still don’t understand why they endorse, though.
@EAL Dude, that shouldn’t be a surprise, considering that Alidad is a MEMBER of Beta.
@Krebs Rips down campaign posters. I think that is a campaign no-no?
@well... If you saw him do that you should tell connect…
@I can't be Am I alone in not giving a damn about student council or its elections?
@no you're not the only one who doesnt care. the 50% of CC that doesn’t vote joins you in not caring.
@oh good christ THIS IS RIDICULOUS
endorsements for student council? i hope they all get eaten by cats.
@EAL My cat will eat you.
@AMSA The American Medical Students Association (AMSA) just endorsed Experience Columbia last night.
@krebs is a creepy man. i realy don’t like door-to-door campaigning and the last thing i needed on a sunday night was to have him show up and question me awkwardly for five minutes. ugh
@also Zamana has endorsed Experience Columbia
@Question Is the LE:MON Party really running? If so, why haven’t they been included in anything?
@LE:MON party is running for ’09 class council. Not for e-board.
@LE:MON Party! myohnine.com
@EAL Add Psi Upsilon to the list of Experience Columbia supporters. We gave him the endorsement last week.
@Krebs is a fraud? Does it matter that George Krebs is campaigning on his success with off-campus flex but he completely slacked off on that project and it was actually Peter Valeiras that did the entire thing?
