Better late than never..

.. that the fun page editor weighs in.

I think things happened.
I think some people won.
I think others didn't.

My opinion is paramount.
Breathe it.

The machine keeps rolling

Finally, at 4:30 a.m., the Undivided slate has swept the executive.

Your 2009 RSU Executive is:

President: Jermaine Bagnell
VP Education: Liana Salvador
VP Finance and Services: Tobey Whitfield (re-elected)
VP Student Life and Events: Lise De Montbrun

The Undivided crew was camped out in a ground floor room of Pitman Hall when the results came in. Nora Loreto called Jermaine on speakerphone to tell him the final numbers and the supporters cheered. Not aware that there were Eyeopener reporters in the room, Jermaine let slip that "a reporter was already up my ass with questions." Reporters questioning your every move? Yep, sounds like your president. Congrats, and get used to it.

Voting was the highest it has been in recent memory. The official numbers:

President:

Bagnall: 1329
Dolezel: 479
Fortin: 269
Snobar: 1171
Single: 106
Spoiled: 119

VP Education:

Dmytriw: 528
Houssein: 1145
Salvador: 1551
Spoiled: 213

VP Finance and Services:

Hamid: 1179
Sajib: 280
Whitfield: 1843
Spoiled: 232

VP Student Life and Events:

De Montbrun: 1549
Mursalov: 385
Naidu: 1290
Spoiled: 215

Another "20" minutes down

And I'm still here. Had an impromptu singalong to Wonderwall with Chris Drew. Still no idea when the results will be coming out. I can barely count as it is, I wonder how these pollsters are keeping their numbers straight at 4 in the morning?

At this rate, I'll be able to take the subway home.

I lied, I'm still here

Illin' in the Eyeopener office with Jesse and Amit. An hour and a half ago, they said the results would be out in 45 minutes, so I got suckered in. Now it's going to be another "20." FML
RSU Votes 2009 turns last nights party. This photographer is out for tonight. It ends with the ram deserted and Tom doing a puppet show for our enjoyment. "dude, so we have to leave now?"

THE END

I call shenanigans on this whole fiasco. Sorry loyal followers, there is no way I'm staying until 4 a.m. to find out who won. The girl who is showing the results is packing up her laptop. It's over. Tune in tomorrow when I do a half-assed blog post announcing the winner.

Jermaine has gone home. Why am I still here?

Seriously.

The Tomtourage had a little too much to drink (okay, they're drunk) and started getting into Undivided's face. There was a lot of scowlage and potential fighting. Some Eye editors got tired and abandoned the live blog. Rebecca Rose scolded us for encouraging Tom. I went to the bathroom because I hate ugly confrontation.

When I came back, Undivided had absconded to SCC 115. Jermaine left all together. Again, why am I here?
