Attacks on Rose are unfounded

It deeply saddens me that so many people have lined up to attack Fiona Rose. Most of the attacks are personal; it's difficult to attack Rose on the issues. She is one of themost capable student leaders at any campus anywhere. Apparently, the overwhelming majority of students feel this way because few candidates have ever done as well as she has in MSA elections.

I wish these people who have made these vicious attacks could see how hard Fiona works. In addition to her classes and MSA work, she works countless nights at Espresso Royale Cafe. Unfortunately, she didn't have $5,000 from her father to spend on the MSA election.

I question the motives of Fiona's detractors. Much of it is ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend talk. What do you expect the members of the Students' Party to say about Fiona? She obviously didn't leave their party amicably. If Fiona Rose would have stayed in the Students' Party, she would be their nominee for president and the same folks who attack her would be lauding her competence, her ingenuity and her hard work. I hope that in the coming days that the personal attacks on Fiona can cool off. No one deserves to go through what she has gone through.
