Chelsea Clinton's Butler Visit

During Chelsea Clinton's visit visit to Butler today she was asked if her mother's, Sen. Clinton's, credibility was hurt because of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. She responded by saying

“Wow, you’re the first person actually that’s ever asked me that question in the, I don’t know maybe, 70 college campuses I’ve now been to, and I do not think that is any of your business.”

This sound bite has made the national news.

My opinion on this is that since she is actively campaigning for her mother she should answer questions like the one that was posed today. The complete opposite would be true if she was not actively campaigning.

Primaries and Hilary Clinton

Tonight, it was official for the Republican party, but still unsure for the Democrats. John McCain clinched the Republican candidacy but since Clinton dominated both Ohio and Texas, the run between Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton is still uncertain. Hopefully this influences student participation because both Clinton and Obama campaigned toward college students today.

On the lighter side, check out the video of Hilary Clinton's interview on The Daily Show -

I find it somewhat ironic that Hilary appeared on The Daily Show the day before both her and Obama campaigned to college students, could it be that she knows college students watch John Stewart and they will see her as funny? mmhhh, I think so.

2008

Obama's supporters are increasingly young

A New York Times article today says that Clinton's support stems from longtime connections, while Obama's support is growing exponentially among new, younger supporters. It has long been known that most of the people who go to the polls are older, and younger people (a.k.a. college students) do not vote.
Do you agree that talk amongst young people is geared toward support for Obama? Do you think this growing excitement in the presidential race will entice young people to actually go to the polls this time or skip out like usual?
