My Final Debate Notes
On Wednesday, October 15, 2008 I watched the final presidential debate at Penn State Abington as part of a debate survey group, “Debate the Debate,” hosted by Larry Kane. I made notes:
Barack Obama - Stronger on opposing CEO greed, in command of numbers and facts, vowed not to give the nations wealth away, both smart and funny, appeared more sincere and honest, not anti-government but wanted to make it work better, thinks and responds quickly but most importantly, accurately.
John McCain - weak on clearly explaining his own policy, lacked facts and details, attack! attack! attack, but guess what, they don’t work, appeared bitter and snappy, some anti-government rhetoric could be construde as anarchist (which just might be bitterness shining through), repeated same old stump speech, left an impression with me that he’s an “angry old man,” and last but not least, I’m convinced that he blinks when he lies.

October 3rd, 2008 (Abington, PA) - Barack Obama, while campaigning in the Abington suburb of Philadelphia, shook MY hand. A wonderful experience. Here’s the video
In the video, you can hear the Secret Service agent talking to me. First telling me to move my camera behind me because it was hanging over the railing and Barack Obama, speaking directly to me calling me, “Sir.” Better photos from my Canon DSLR to come.
Recorded with a jailbroken, 16GB Apple iPhone 3G (white)
UPDATE: CNN.com features my iReport video under “Latest News”
My ‘City Paper’ Feature
My photograph “Michelle and the Mayor” from the South-West Philly Barack Obama rally was featured on page 5 of the Oct. 2nd Philadelphia City Paper. CITY PAPER editor Brian Howard got in touch with me through FLICKR to make sure it was ok to use and how I would like to be credited. Really awesome of him and I’m thrilled, as you can probably tell!
