Zack Golden and Claire Forman won the 2008 Student Government Elections. The announcement came after a debate between the College Democrats and Republicans in the Johnson Center food court.
"I don't know what to say right now," said Forman, vice president elect. "I can hardly breathe. We had a lot of people come out and turn things around right up to midnight."
When Golden was asked how he thought they won the election, he said, "Really just one on one individual contact. We talked a lot of people on the campaign. We really reached out to everybody - talked to a lot of commuters - especially - we talked to a lot of commuters. I think that's really what helped us."
