Election Apathy

I just finished watching the final Connecticut Senate Debate on my television that took place at my school:Quinnipiac. I thought this was kind of ironic. Quinnipiac was recently named the second most apathetic University in the nation. Not bad for a University with a nationally recognized Polling Institute and a Law School. However, tonight's debate and recent event on campus have convinced me......LOOK OUT WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE......#1 HERE WE COME!!!

Where's Joe

Casual viewers may have been flipping through the channels tonight and passed the Senate debate aired on Connecticut televisions.....they may have noticed something funny......like the man who is leading in the polls by 12 points, decided not to attend. Joe Lieberman probably made a wise political move by opting out of the final senate debate......what does he have to gain by being proven wrong by Ned Lamont? But it also proves that although Quinnipiac was so excited to get a heated political debate on campus, they couldn't even attract the leading candidate. Instead it was an hour of watching Alan Schlesinger, the republican candidate who in a recent poll had a whopping 8 percent of possible votes, babble about how he was screwed from the start in this election. I have to agree with Alan......if your own party doesn't want you to run, you're pretty screwed.

Apathy Convention

The main reason I think Quinnipiac is a shoe in for number one in the 2007 Princeton Review for most apathetic college is the results of the the "Fight Apathy" event held on campus. After the review released it's results, the QU Democrats and Republicans decided that whispering and laughs from the student body could be turned around. So they quickly organized a "Fight Apathy" event in which both organizations had tables, as well as several candidates and community action groups. Surprise, Surprise......NO ONE SHOWED UP. Students are so apathetic on this campus they were even apathetic about the "Fight Apathy" event! Now that's funny! The campus is not only apathetic but clueless....I asked my housemate what party George W. Bush refers himself to......and he didn't know. Although I do think most QU students would know the answer is Republican, I don't think they know who the defense secretary of the US is, could name our other state senator, or tell me our previous Governor (even though he went to prison for scandal). Truly it really boils down to these kids aren't dumb, they just don't care.

Go out and Vote you idiot

Ok......so now I've bitched about how apathetic our student body is......and they are too apathetic to care. However I do think that with a little encouragement people will go out and vote. I've decided to vote for Ned Lamont......not because he is very different than Joe Lieberman....but because it seems like he has a little passion. I think Washington could use a little passion to start getting things done. However if you called me an idiot, spit and my face, and told me the lord Jesus Christ lives inside Joe Lieberman's body and was sent here to save us all from our evil sins.......I wouldn't be mad.....at least I know you would care enough to VOTE

VOTE ON TUESDAY, FOR SOMEONE, ANYTHING, ANYONE......pick an issue that you believe in and find someone who represents your view, then hit that little button and receive a tiny sticker from the 107 year old woman spending her whole day to hand out stickers.....You'll feel good about yourself!
