The youth vote has been a big focus of the Obama Campaign throughout this campaigning season. It seems like the McCain campaign hasn't focused on getting the youth vote out nearly as much as the Obama campaign, but I spoke with the head of the College Republicans for the state of Ohio about how much they do to promote the youth republican vote in the state. He spoke about all the chapters around the state and how much they do to get the vote out and draft volunteers.
I also spoke with the Athens County Victory Director for the McCain Campaign about how a small town like Athens stays connected with the campaign.
It's interesting to talk with some of the smaller outlets of the campaign. To make the big, national campaign come together, it really is all about the small town Republican organizations working hard to get the vote out. John McCain doesn't have time to come to every small town in America, so he really has to depend on the headquarters in Columbus to spread the word to the smaller town headquarters throughout the state.
Though I was unfortunately not able to talk with any students, I was happy that I was able to talk with someone from Athens, who could give me the perspective of a small town organization trying to keep up with a national campaign.
