QPQ: - Not done
Overall: Seems to be me the subject is a politician who happens to hold an academic position not the other way around as implied by the hook. However, it is not technically wrong so I'm fine with it. We just need a QPQ and we are good to go. --ThaddeusB (talk) 18:53, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

QPQ done. Agreed that he is probably more a politician than academic, but the hook seems to read better that way round. I'm always open to better hook ideas. Edwardx (talk) 00:29, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
QPQ done, so good to go with provided hook. --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:52, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

I don't understand why you changed "elections" to "eating contests" in the hook. Were you trying to be funny? It has been returned to the original

wording. Edwardx (talk) 22:27, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Ugh, I totally forgot my son had installed this Chrome extension which automatically changes "election" to "eating contest" (now disabled). --ThaddeusB (talk) 23:36, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
