It wouldn't be an election without funny write-in candidates. While the student body at large normally doesn't get to see these individuals, they are the unsung heroes for those of us who have to count hundreds of ballots.
This year's notable write-ins include: Beavis and Butthead, Bruce Campbell, George W. Bush/Dick Cheney, Buddha, Alice Cooper, Clint Eastwood, Tim Cahill, Anyone but Keith Raboin, Condelezza Rice, each of the 7 dwarves received a vote, Keith Raboin is the man, Mickey Mouse, Rick James.
Keep an eye out for Spring 2011 elections; we're looking to one-up ourselves once again.
