Last–minute events can shift election
Oct. 27, 2008Every four years as presidential candidates approach the finish line, the election hiccups. It could be a dramatic global event; it could be the final rabbit in a candidate's hat (or the final skeleton in his closet). Whatever form it takes, a presidential campaign must always anticipate that last-minute X-factor, the dreaded "October Surprise." For the candidate in the lead, it represents one last perilous curve ball. For the candidate running behind, it represents opportunity.

Meyer’s emotion a nice change
By Victoria Shelly | Oct. 27, 2008I didn't recognize the man on the cover of the Alligator today. Urban Meyer smiling? Showing emotion? Thank you, William Green, for blocking that punt and putting that smile on Meyer's face.

Use caution when fielding Facebook requests from family
By Morgan Nederhood | Oct. 27, 2008Facebook is a double-edged sword when it comes to friend-requesting family members. You can keep in touch with parts of your family you've long forgotten, or you can friend them to remember why you stopped talking to them in the first place.

Booing opponents classless
By Millard Roberts | Oct. 27, 2008In years gone by, Gator fans screamed "Gator Bait" in unison when the opposing team came out onto the field. It was a special and unique greeting for the invaders of Florida Field.

Early voting editorial unfair
By GRAHAM CLARK | Oct. 27, 2008I am frequently disappointed by the unreasonably negative and sarcastic tone of some Alligator editorials, and Monday's whiny screed against early voting activists is the latest and most perplexing example.

Senate actions would speak louder than titles
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Oct. 27, 2008We cried foul when the now-infamous Student Government Gmail scandal dropped on SG election day, and then we screamed for change. Our only demands were transparency and fairness.

Make a splash
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Oct. 26, 2008We love being Gators because the enthusiasm on campus knows no bounds. Seriously, UF students get hyped up for anything and everything and then work their tails off to make everything bigger and better than originally expected.

By Megan Moore | Oct. 26, 2008I just wanted to say how disappointed I was as I left Gator Growl feeling brainwashed.

Early voting could mean Obama win
Oct. 26, 2008In what pundits are calling a year with "strong Democratic tailwinds" (think economic woes, unpopular president, etc.), Sen. John McCain has managed to hold the presidential contest between him and Sen. Barack Obama very close. According to Real Clear Politics, an organization that averages a week's worth of poll results from multiple sources, McCain was in a dead heat with Obama in national and battleground state polls.

Halloween sex column lacked substance
By Liz Martin | Oct. 23, 2008I was bothered enough to feel compelled to write about Stephanie Dunn's Thursday article "Halloween treats adults to more than candy" in this week's edition of Sex on the Avenue.

Alligator Editorial Board unprofessional
By JON BOUGHER | Oct. 23, 2008I'm not sure I can take it anymore, so it's time to play the role of scolding parent.
