Law Students

Let's have a debate!

Be sure to tune in this afternoon at 430 for our liveblogging of the SBA Debate: Decision That Will Affect You Maybe Just A Little!  The debate is basically for show, because as we all know, law school is high school and the winner will be the person with the most friends on Facebook.  (We were pretty dang accurate last year). 

Therefore, we'd like to congratulate Otis O. on his resounding victory!  The man has 530 friends at UVA.  What's that?  He's a Double Hoo?  None of those people can vote?  Well then, Congratulations Jackie C.!  That girl has 419 friends at UVA and she has personally photographed every single law student dozens of times.  But if Jackie C. is the Hillary Clinton of this race, you can't count out Barack Obama, or as he's known on campus, Ryan Q.  While he may only have 202 UVA friends his organization, and by organization we mean Facebook group, rivals that of the Jackie C. Machine.  Ryan's got 114 committed supporters to Jackie's 131.  (Otis has 53).  (We think this means 60 percent of Ryan's friends trust him and only 30 percent of Jackie's trust her.  Maybe.)  We're going to ignore these groups, however, because of the rampant voter fraud.  There are many people attempting to vote three times and lots of people who can't vote in all the groups.

So, who knows, maybe the debate will matter.  We're going to go on the record right now as encouraging as much personal mudslinging as possible.  We've done some googling and, well, there's dirt out there for sure.  

We're focusing on the presidential race because we hardly know anyone else running.  Probably some 1Ls.  We are going to go ahead and endorse one candidate: Allison B. for Secretary.  This is a write in candidacy so it's going to be a hard slog, but we think that any candidate who can't remember to turn in forms on time should be in charge of telling us when things happen.  (Jk, Allison, you know we love you.  And we're going to write your name very pretty.)  UPDATE: There literally is no one on the ballot for secretary.  It's write-in or no one.

See you at 430.
