Election Watch: Burr Curiously Absent at Hamilton Debates

I just came back from the second ASUO Executive debates. This round was very different from the first. While the debates on Tuesday were held in swanky Gerlinger Lounge, these were in the middle of Hamilton Dining Hall during dinnertime. Only three of the five tickets showed up: Daniels/DuFour and Axelrod/Guzman were both no-shows.
I was unsurprised by their absence. Those two tickets are certainly the front-runners– attending the debate would have only hurt them.

Anyways, my ASUO Executive prediction (which I can only hope is more accurate than my final four predictions):

Daniels/DuFour and Axelrod/Guzman will likely win the primaries, leading to one of the better named matchups in ASUO history: the Double D’s vs. The Axelrod. Unfortunately for Axelrod/Guzman, the losing tickets will rally behind Daniels/DuFour.

Voting turnout: 18.5%
