Due to this, we can combine views in a way that benefits CSSS members the most.<\/p>\n<p>3. Extensive Experience.

The A* Party can guarantee that we will perform to the best of our ability and give you an awesome year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>Commentary<\/h4>\n<p>I have to say I love the <a title=\"A* search algorithm\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/A*_search_algorithm\" target=\"_blank\">punny name<\/a>. More seriously, an actual political party is atypical of CSSS elections, and puts other   candidates at a disadvantage. But this party isn\u2019t lying when they say they have a lot of experience, and I don\u2019t doubt they would be a great exec team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Online: Facebook I\u2019ll start with the big one, since I\u2019ll just end up linking to this platform for all my other write-ups.
