Added July 16th, 2009:
    I really hope that anyone who reads this article or the follow up article also reads the commentary on the Follow-Up Article. Mistakes were made, and ten years too late, I address them.

    Anyway, this article was pulled due to concerns that I would be seen as endorsing one or more of the candidates for ASB President, which that year included two people I counted among my close friends and two other people I talked to from fairly often. All of them would have made great Presidents, and I was hoping to talk from a neutral perspective about the strengths I saw in each of them. With the benefit of time, I can see how that could have been taken by people as endorsing one candidate or another. In fact, I could have conceivably been accused by four different people of endorsement with the supposedly endorsed candidate being a different candidate in each case.

    My content about Andrew Vick would have also been a violation if not for the fact that he was unopposed, which I am still quite justifiably bitter about. Those elections are extremely stressful, except for my last one where I really didn't think I'd win and was just running to tell myself I had done everything I could. But since he was unopposed, it was like he had already won given that we've never had a case of a serious write-in campaign. I suppose my "attempted coup" during his election speech (something that was his idea) was ironically the closest thing he had to opposition.

    The line about always voting for the Pro Wrestler doesn't age well. Jesse Ventura was governor of Minnesota and Hulk Hogan was making some noise about also running. Jerry "The King" Lawler would run for mayor of Memphis a couple of years later, something he's discussing doing again. We now know that it's not Pro Wrestlers winning all of our political contests, but people who were in the movie "Predator".

    For those who didn't go to Point Loma and/or just didn't pay attention, the previous head of the Social Life Committee who thinks he's funny would be me.

    The title of the article is in the running for perhaps the stupidest title I ever made. I do note in immature amusement that due to the naming conventions I use for these commentaries, the file you are currently reading is called CRockTheVote.php.
