2:00 - U of MN Students Are Energized!
Posted November 04, 2008 at 1:01 PM

It's an overcast day here in Minnesota, but for Obama supporters at the University of Minnesota campus, their outlook is sunny.  McCain students at the U of MN are few and far between.  Those that I have found are reluctant to talk to me.  Conversely, Obama supporters are more than eager to tell me.  They tell me that Minnesota is staying blue, and would demand a recount if McCain carried the state.

 

What I've found most interesting today is how students want to shed light on other races.  The presidential race is the big star of this election, but many students have told me that they hope young voters will remember to research the other candidates for other offices up for election.
