Lol. That comment about Vita isn't accurate. I recorded and edited the event and have the tapes to prove it. He said, "And Clint looked at me with those beady eyes of his and said, "You can do it. We can do it together." (Remember? An audience member shouted out, "Yes we can!")

And he didn't say, Clint asked him, "Would you be Senior Class President?" with Vita responding, "And I was like, okay." He actually said, "Clint came up to me and was all like, "I think you should run for Senior Class President". And Vita was all, "I think I should!" all joking like. He was very confident there.

But, for the first debate - as it is for all candidates always - you get nervous. Vita seemed a bit nervous, as did everyone. And I can understand why people may have misunderstood where I feel he was coming from.

He did say that Clint approached Vita in particular in December though; your right about that. And he talked about how - although he was actively involved and qualified for the job - he was hesitant. Some one interpret that hesitation as a lack of passion. But when he said how he wasn't sure if he could commit, I admired that. I admire a Senior Class President who knows his limits. I know that knowing my limits means that I know exactly how far to push it - it's productive. I disagree with your statement - I think it has nothing to do with a lack of passion. It has everything to do with having personal responsibility. I admire that in Vita.

"When it comes down to it, who's going to plan a better Homecoming? The girl." No, when it comes down to it - and honestly no offense to you because I don't know you personally, Poster - but I think that's a ridiculous gender expectation to put on a human being. Guys go to Homecoming too. Having a male Senior Class President who plans Homecoming doesn't make him less capable.
