The Debate is Over, but the Videos Keep Playing

It hasn’t taken long for video clips of the debate to hit the web.

One clip showing Bill Richardson supporters was confusing at first with signs reading “2013?”

A quick search showed that it’s a selling point for Richardson’s campaign to get the troops out of Iraq now rather than setting a timetable of 2013 as alluded to by other candidates.

The video search also turned up a quirky video anticipating the showdown between major contenders Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards, complete with spaghetti western music:

Most of the video searches on Google, with various wording, turned up numerous Obama-centric clips.

The spin and mock-videos are sure to continue through the weekend.

Chili Peppers for Richardson

These chili pepper people are here to draw attention for the Richardson team. Other team members said that the chili pepper costumes are mainly meant to as an attention getter but also represent Richardson’s Hispanic heritage. There were only two costumes, but an entire group with signs and T-shirts.

CNN = Politics?

I didn’t know CNN=politics. I thought CNN=a news network. But apparently I’m mistaken, according to the sign CNN has on the back of their trailer.

I took these pictures on campus today around 12:45 p.m.

CNN set up shop near the Central Desert Complex and were doing on the spot interviews with students. The reporter asked questions like “what issues are important to you?” and “politics mean…?.”

The girl being interviewed in this shot was actually working the stand for Republican candidate Ron Paul. The stand was located across from CNN’s operation. She also informed me that Ron Paul will be on campus on Monday.

“Express Yourself” was playing on loudspeakers and CNN reps were talking over the song trying to get people to answer trivia questions for free prizes. What free prizes? CNN gear. Because nothing is better than having some pictures of students on a college campus wearing your company logo.

What I enjoyed most was taking pictures of the people taking pictures of us. I am surprised no one said anything to me, but I was using my camera phone.

The media circus really wasn’t what I was expecting today. Tomorrow will probably be a different animal.
