C-SPAN Bus to Cover Upcoming Election

In light of recent experiences, I am doing my blog on the C-SPAN bus and the fact that they are going to cover the upcoming election. In the past year, they added a control room and HD camera to the bus which gives the bus the capability of acting as a studio. Since it tours to many places that might not have a studio, they can broadcast directly from the bus itself. As long as everything is staged correctly, the control panel in DC can control everything. The crew plans of visiting several BigTen schools as well as some Big12 School to get a fresh, young, student's perspective on the presidential election. The tour will take a few months and is set to end at Northwestern University in Illinois.

Obama to Visit Watertown

On April 13, the White House released a statement saying that President Obama would be making a visit to the only state left on his list, South Dakota. He plans to address graduating students at Lake Area Technical Institute. At first glance, Watertown seems like a weird place for the POTUS to visit. I've been to Watertown. It's lame. Who wants to visit a lake instead of the most magnificent rock sculpture in the world? But as the great Michael Hoffer once said, "Senior politicians don't make appearances that aren't politically motivated". As it turns out, Lake Area Technical Institute is one of the top community colleges in the nation. And in light of Obama's recent desires to make community college free, this seems like a prime opportunity for the president. I have a feeling this visit to SD wasn't a spur of the moment decision because it was the only state Obama hasn't visited. I think this visit was planned out a long time ago and was strategically placed in time with the president's political agenda. It's all a conspiracy maaaan.
