How many times will we let Lucy yank the ball mid kick before we stop attempting the kick? So either we base our vote on the TA alone, or we continue to fall prey to politics. At some point, the blame lies on us too.
I doubt SD was alone in coming up with the "we may hire if we get this voted in". Chances are it was just one prong of a mulitfaceted strategy put together by this guy.

That said, SD's words may have gained that extra 12% to put the contract over the top. That said, at some point you just have to stop believing anything coming from management. It is what it is.
