Lee, Bonner Split Key Endorsements

Bonner, however, said her campaign is relying on personal friends and contacts among first-years for support.

The Bonner-Long campaign has also gained name recognition as jokes playing on the two candidates names have circulated among some members of the freshman class.

“You walk by and it’s just instinct—you laugh,” said Jared M. Fleisher ’05. “If they can get people to vote, they definitely have the advantage in name recognition.”

“You walk out of the shower [and see the sign] and you gotta do a double-take,” added Josh M. Mendelsohn ’05.

The Bonner-Long campaign also unveiled its website this week, which depicts Long on his pastoral ranch in Wyoming.

“I think it’s important for people to know where I come from,” Long said.

The Lee-Fernandez website, equipped with flash animation, outlines the ticket’s platform.

Voting for the presidential race ends Wednesday night.
