If you're in Maucker Union this afternoon, be sure to stop by David and Katie's table by Chats and pick up a couple condoms, courtesy of their campaign.

A bold and interesting tactic, for sure, but one that I shouldn't be surprised to see from this particular campaign. Both candidates are very open about their sexuality and refuse to shy away from conversations that others might consider to be taboo, so this fits right in with their goals to push the envelope and get people talking.
Frankly, I love it. I mean, if anything, it is a nice change of pace from the flood of t-shirts and buttons that we see being handed out by campaign teams every year. KaLeigh and Alicia even handed out valentines on Valentine's Day last Thursday, so I admire the ingenuity these campaigns are showing in trying to get their name out in unique ways.
I also finally managed to spot a David and Katie poster on campus near the end of last week, which you can see below. As you probably already read in my interview with David, David and Katie failed to get a recognized student organization for their campaign, so they've had to rely on the goodwill of other already-established student organizations to help get their materials out, which explains the delay.
Later today, I'll begin posting my analysis of each campaigns' platforms and Morgan will also be finishing up her critiques of the campaigns' websites, so be sure to check back soon!
