Get to know Zach

In all seriousness we do hope that Mr. Howell does succeed in leading the College Republicans toward credibility. He'd really have to work hard to be worse than the booger-eating moron, Charlie Smith. In fact, we'll set the standard really low: If Zach can walk across his office without stumbling over the furniture he'll surpass Mr. Smith.

Zach Howell's office is empty, save for a football tucked under a desk and a lone yellow bumper sticker on the wall: "College Republicans make great leaders. You're following one."

Howell, a 23-year-old from Sandy, is taking that advice to heart as he assumes his new role as chairman of the College Republican National Committee.
