This is not the opinion of the Ugliness, but rather the opinion of the opinions editor at the University Press.
...The Governor hopeful that said too much without telling me anything
Mike Burdman says he has been in the House for almost a year and that he "stands for a better tomorrow." He never told me what bills he passed - apparently there were "many" of them. He never mentioned what he's going to do tomorrow… or today, for that matter. I'm not quite sure what he's running for because he never mentioned what he's done already.
The I'm not going to say it, but I'm better than you moment
Chris Ayala was the first out of all four candidates to answer the question of what their biggest accomplishment was. While Rasheed Shotuyo helped maintain an ROTC program at FAU and Tiffany Weimar was helping kids with cystic fibrosis, Ayala told us that his biggest accomplishment was having the 11th highest GPA in the College of Business. That's exactly what I want - what about your fellow students?
...
The Put that in your juice box and suck it! moment
During questions from the audience, current SG President Tony Teixeira felt it necessary to not necessarily ask a question, but rather, educate the Presidential hopefuls on what they are getting themselves into if they win. After a heated rant about what he has done to prepare for a Board of Trustees meeting on Wednesday - the 13 member board that oversees FAU and President Frank Brogan - he threw down his hundreds of pages of notes like a gauntlet in front of the candidates to show them that SG isn't all "fun and games" - it's actually about doing work for the student body - something none of the candidates can say they've done.
Somewhere in between Teixeira's "question" came former Presidential hopeful Jared Torres (whom Teixeira beat for the SG president seat last year) butting in to say that Teixeira wasn't even asking a question. With the look of complete anger, Teixeira eventually asked something or another. No one really listened, though, because they were too busy waiting to see if he was going to take out Torres in the parking lot… that would have been sweet.
The pitiful party
Without a doubt, the winners are Dan Ross and Maria Sutton. Sutton, that poor girl, actually had some very positive answers to the questions throughout the night. Unfortunately, Ross made himself, and his party, look like complete idiots. In response to a question about what makes them better than the other candidates, Ross in his pony tail and flip-flops, responded with "Google is dominating. I can dominate. Vote Ross." He also said that as President, he would fix the parking garage. Too bad the follow up question wasn't why he thought it was broken. Google talk and unbroken parking garages… what do those Program Board people actually do all day?
