Following the WHYY TV-12 50th Anniversary party on Saturday afternoon, at which I manned a "Next Mayor" table, giving me plenty of opportunities to explain why this election is still important even though, in their words, "we already know who it is," I hoofed it over to the Parkway for the Campus Philly Kick Off. Since this is a festival geared towards the students of the region's many fine institutions of high learning, perhaps I'll share what I learned from covering this event:
1. It's a long walk from 6th and Race to 23 and the Parkway when you've got a tripod and miniDV cam slung over your shoulder, 20 feet of cable in your pocket and a stick microphone in your hand. C'mon, you thought this project had money to pay for cans?
2. College students are soooo much younger than I remember them from when I was in school. And music is soooo much louder.
3. If the Simpsons ever did a parody of two candidates addressing a college-age crowd, they would have their Democrat and Republican in exactly the same outfits that Nutter and Taubenberger were wearing.
4. From Taubenberger, I learned specifically that "war is no good," we need the grass to be greener and that his plan for creating more jobs is to give political science majors jobs on his staff.
5. Al may be a nice guy, but that didn't spare him from a number of choice anti-GOP epithets being hurled from the back of the crowd. Apparently, this wasn't a big hang-out for the young Republicans.
Anyway, here are some highlights from Saturday's event:
(edited to add) Judging from his vigorous defense of the President, Taubenberger is anxious to shred his Republican membership card.

Thanks for posting this article. I'm definitely frustrated with struggling to search out pertinent and intelligent commentary on this subject. Everybody now goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation. Many thanks for your succinct, relevant insight.
