BoG Endorsement Spat

Sean Heisler endorsed some people. People got angry. I'm now scared to post our endorsements.

    BoG is heating up to be hotter than Ben, & we're dying to know: who are you voting for? Answer our poll: http://ow.ly/8DBIV #AMSelections

    @AMSConfidential scandal? Ma'am, that's the least of my scandals this election! Maybe I'm too effective to endorse? #AMSelections

    @ubcinsiders @seanheisler I'm curious to the logic of how graduating can be a detriment to 1 candidate (Cregten) but not the other (Sharma).

    @j_mcelroy Cregten isn't, in my understanding, returning to UBC for grad school. Sharma has applications and interviews with 2 programs. ...

    Apparently I need to be specific in not endorsing Parson for BoG. If he wins both he's not allowed in the room for governance discussions.

    @seanheisler Your commentary is lucid and interesting; it's worth mentioning your own humble beginnings though -- we all started somewhere..

    @seanheisler ..and it would be good for you to acknowledge that really anybody who's dedicated and diligent can/will get the job done.

    @seanheisler I only comment because I remember being on the other side of the endorsement (Spectator) and rooting for your cardboard self...

    @seanheisler Yes, but I don't think that absolves you completely from the issues incipient in the post and dialogue re:elections in general.

    @j_mcelroy @seanheisler =P Not trying to be polemical -- I just believe that any student with heart, verve, and hard work can make change.

    Got called "The Radical" and "the person that represents the popular opinion" in the same disendorsement. #AMSElections http://pic.twitter.com/WstIAvAL

    I respond to my nonendorsement by @seanheisler here: http://ubcinsiders.ca/2012/01/bog-endorsements/comment-page-1/#comment-10801 - "Populist" or "Engages the Students"? You decide. #AMSElections

  17. "The TL;DR: I don’t claim to represent 47,000 voices with my personal values, beliefs or “platform”, because it’s far better to be elected by students that are confident that you will consult with them before you act on their behalf. "

    @MrBaldTruth Great response btw. My concern is how you'd consult with the 47,000 on the number of items requiring heavy background knowledge
