That seems like not only an appropriate speaker, but a prestigious one, the general importance of whom seemed to add to the atmosphere for those attending, your personal political opinions notwithstanding.

Right, so if someone like Michael Brown were chosen to speak instead of the Governor of PA, it would still have made those people just as happy?

Probably, but the factor that gauges who is an appropriate speaker is not whether
someone would "get their knickers irrationally twisted" but rather whether
half the student body gets its knickers twisted
rationally, which would likely be the case if Brown (see above) were chosen.
