Judgment Day 1.0
January 14th, 2013 • Uncategorized
0:01 – It’s after midnight and I see no websites yet! I should be hearing the sounds of tweeting and hallway postering. Caroline Wong and Ben Cappellacci did it last year, right after midnight. What will we see in the morning!?
1pm – I call this the first-wave campaign cut off. If you got your material out by now, you have made some kind of impression on me. Because the following are the first AMS things that made it to my newsfeed, I am going to give them some blogtime.
Oh hell no! “Because Oshan Guarantees!”
I remember using a mnemonic in my campaign last year and it was for platform points. Truthfully, I can’t remember what it was. I’ll remember this slogan though. But for its truly cheesy nature.
I will have you know, though, that black red and green are the colours of the Kenyan flag. Watch. I put money on Harsev doing more in his campaign to signal pan-African sentiments with the UBC Africa Awareness Initiative.
He will attend the fabulous UBC Africa Awareness Initiative Conference Week and he will campaign!
It’ll be interesting to watch the guys fight for the Greek vote for BoG, with Harsev Oshan, Mike Silley and Matt Parson all in the Greek system.
Meanwhile, nothing from hack Conny Lin and oldhack Erin Rennie yet!
Bam. First campaign poster I have seen, in the comfort of my own home. votejay.ca is not up yet though
Here’s Jay for President. A sit-down picture, a la Ben Cappellacci campaign photo in 2012.
Opting for the “Adjective. Noun.” format, this has got to be an attempt to remind students what the AMS does. I don’t dig it. But it’s the website, interviews and the debates that matter the most to me though.
Derek Moore for VP Admin
Self-promoting as honey badger, this creature is leading the VP Admin candidate pack with smiles. Hasn’t prepared much for his website yet though, but I’ll stay tuned. He seems to be the first one to have over 30 Likes on his Facebook page. Pretty impressive planning. His race is exciiiii-ting.
Can’t wait to see more of “robust” Derek on votederek.ca
Re-Elect Kiran for VP Academic
is looking good. Opening her website with a letter signed with a ‘Sincerely’ that actually sounds sincere, Kiran has proven that this election she has prepared to tell you everything she has done well and has plans of doing even better as the VP Academic. I will have to say that some parts of her platform are not memorable as I know there is a urgent need that students have identified in the past year. A need that the elected VP Academic should work into ‘their’ platform. Hint. That being said though, Kiran has a very comprehensive platform. I especially admire any candidate who offers in-depth platform explanations. More analysis on the VP Academic races and the other races later!
