Pre-Game Show: Liz Doneathy is pretty upbeat

Honestly, the more time I spend with candidates, the more I realise how there is no way in determining who will win. Stranger things have happened.

People, including myself, seem to think that most races are wrapped up. When I spoke with Liz Doneathy, it made me realise that, you know what? What the fuck do I know? How many class presentations have I done? Have I done a poll? I know nothing. I'm basing myself solely on hear-say and on posters.

Liz Doneathy came here, upbeat and positive. She was all class, reiterated her ideas, which are basic. Focus on the spending. The SFUO is spending so much money on services/clubs and we need to spend that more effectively. It is a simple message. She is not loud or vocal. She does not attack her opponent. She is running a positive campaign and she is getting a well-deserved rest tonight with her volunteers before the votes are unveiled.

I still think that even if Liz does not win, she will be extremely well-positioned to run next year. If she does win, I think she would make a decent candidate, but I really, sincerely think, she has a lot to bring to the SFUO, in many different ways. The fact that she is able to argue without attacking opponents is a sign of maturity. She presents clear ideas and I think she will be a a great asset for the Fed, whether on the exec or on a Federated body or even on the BOA.

Times are rolling at the SFUO. There's a lot of money. And there's a lot of spending. Liz is asking important questions that had to be asked.
