Crimson Wisdom

The winners and losers of last night's presidential debate.

Trevor S. BlakeLaudable ideas but lackluster delivery made this candidate fade into the background. A tall guy but not a stand-out. John A. Burton  Wins presentation prize for clever anecdotes and impromtu chalkboard use. The kind of TF we wish we all could have. Eddy J. Dominguez  Radical revolutionary bashes council and calls for major structural reform. On the right track, but this isn't lran. T. Christopher King  Passionately promises building healthier community at Harvard. But like the hair, he just seems a little too slick. Henry C. Quillen  Rhetorical style not quite as interesting as the "Scream" costume, but we applaud the late display of Halloween spirit. Michelle Robinson  Makes us listen to the sounds of silence in a strange three-word opening. Stunt to appear different impresses no one. Noah Z. Seton  Deflects accusations of excessive Stewartship in true presidential style. Also wins Best Hair in Show award. Ted A. Swasey  Claims he is not a politician, and proves it with his speaking skills. Makes us miss the sweet syntax of George Bush.

--Richard S. Lee & Alan E. Wirzbicki
