Reppin' the vote: student gubernatorial debate

I just went to a debate in G101 where three different students represented different candidates in the gubernatorial campaign.  It was pretty cool.

Becky McDonough was a beast at defending Rick Perry. Had I not been somewhat educated on each candidate, I would never guess that Perry actually used taxpayers money to pay for his mansion. She made him look like an adorable 5-year-old Jehovah's Witness with a chili bowl hair cut selling me a pamphlet and Jesus.

Juan Gonzalez and Cortez Phillips may not have been quite as compelling, but they were both very enlightening on the standpoints of Bill White and Kathie Glass. They could have been a little more informed on the officials they represented, but it was educational nonetheless.

Definitely a job well done from the students and Professor Courtney Brazile.
