Reading yesterday's Alligator, you would have thought that the Orange and Blue Party got slaughtered. But we didn't exchange hugs of commiseration last night. We exchanged hugs of joy. We may not have won the executive positions, but we did win more Senate seats than any opposition party since the Unite Party won 13 in Spring 2006. The Orange and Blue Party ran a strong campaign, and I think even the Gator Party will acknowledge that.
That we won 11 seats shows our ideas resonate with students. We will use those seats to push online voting, replace WebMail with Gmail, make the Student Government Web site useful and keep an eye on spending.
We congratulate the Gator Party on a well-fought campaign. The Orange and Blue Party looks forward to working with the Gator Party on these important issues in the months ahead.
