That is probably the most exciting thing going on right at this second. A lot of the questions are turning out to be cookie cutter. Both slates, god love'em, are just answering the most diplomatic way possible. I wish one of them would just say something crazy. It's almost like they just care soooo much about being elected that they are being sooooo careful. I really believe if one of the slates took a risk, did something different, they would be a shoe in.
MacGillivray is answering a question about lowering tuition and he says that The Union needs to be involved with student recruitment.
I'm gonna go make this blogging a little more interactive.
