Could it be true?
It seems that February graduate Chris Fahrenholt, Uber-blogger and founder of SoTheBearSays, has thrown his hat into the ring for commencement speaker and has taken the unusual step of campaigning. I must admit I admire his cajones and also that he would probably give an excellent speech, if his performance today in Crim Prac as "Special Agent Sheila Wright" is any indication. I would vote for him.
Still, though, there is a part of me that wants to challenge him to a debate. Though I can't be a candidate (having already given him my figurative vote), perhaps I could debate on behalf of the faculty generally.
Sadly, such a debate could not be sponsored by the League of Women Voters, since they are already in my pocket and owe me one. Which leaves, I suppose, Swanburg, meaning that the debate would have to be held at Scruffy's immediately before Karaoke...

As I responded to your comment on my new Election Journal/old blog, you have apparently decided to go negative, and I won't be pulling any more punches. Since you might very well be nominated (we'll find out soon), you may have standing to challenge me to a debate. If so, I accept your challenge and will refer you to my Deputy Campaign Director In Charge Of Mealymouthed Promises and Public Relations to schedule the match. Even if you're not nominated, you might have third party standing to challenge what is clearly a popular movement threatening to overwhelm your decades, nay, centuries of 24-and-older hegemony. I was drafted into running in this election by every single Chris Fahrenthold in Waco, and I'm going to represent them well.
And yes, it would be a hell of a speech.

Y'all should get Bear Grylls to come speak. If he can survive in a volcano w/ only a water bottle, knife, and flint, he can share wisdom w/ Baylor Lawyers-to-be.
Besides, wasn't Chris supposed to be part of graduation in the form of Plan B?

I completely second Bear Grylls. Plus, for the ladies, he's hot. And yeah, there's that whole "can survive with just a knife and a water bottle" thing.

I say it should be a debate in the form of drunken karaoke. Scruffs' patrons will never notice the difference in the words to the songs--they're usually pretty badly slurred to begin with.
Gone negative? It takes a sharp politician to leverage the statement "I would vote for him" as the beginning of negative campaigning! Well, if that's the story...
Why would Mr. F. think you're going negative, just because you posted a photo of a deranged muppet to represent him. What are you going to do next? Have him morph into Bill Clinton or Tom Delay?

Hey, if I'm running a campaign here, of course I've got to preemptively pick a fight with someone and then claim they went negative first.
But seeing as Bates is surfacing as the shadowy figure (the Dennis Kucinich with a sling blade, if you will) of this election, I retract my brash shot across your bow.
*shoots brashly across own bow*
In the official campaign press release, I'll sum up this "unfortunate incident" as a "genuine misunderstanding" between "two friends" who "both want the same thing."
And where the hell are my signs? This ain't homecoming queen.

I see IPLG's point.
You know that mental image one gets of a person one has never met? Now Fahrenthold looks like Beeker to me.

I'm surprised that no one seems to care about the undocumented aliens you have working at your estate. Usually that is a bigger deal.
Good Grief! Don't you know anything about negative campaigning? Illegal immigration is yesterday's issue. And kind of dangerous considering the team of Salvadorans you use to write your Law Review articles.
No, you need to accuse your opponent of having no plan for victory in Iraq and paint him as supporting earmarks for ridiculous public works projects like Opera houses in Alaska.

All of this "negative campaign" talk is secondary to the real question: SINCE WHEN DO THE STUDENTS AT BAYLOR ACTUALLY NOMINATE AND/OR ELECT THE GRADUATION SPEAKER?!?!?! Everyone knows you have to have given at least $47.63 in truly voluntary donations and vote Libertarian just like Prom Dean to be even considered.
