With the 2008 Election Year approaching fast, students from Professor of Government Theodore Eismeier's American Political Process class gave presentations on the major candidates. The students chose who they wanted to represent and gave presentations on their candidate's political platform. For the Democrats, Anna Scott '11 represented Barack Obama, Lindsay Getman '10, Jacob Kleinrock '11 and Jenna Cohen '10 represented Hilary Clinton, and Tom Yarnell '10 gave his support for John Edwards. The Republicans were represented by Jeff Corbett '09 for Fred Thompson, Frank Matt '10 for Mitt Romney and Ed Ajaeb '11 and Gates Helms '11 for Rudy Giuliani. In their presentations, the students discussed the prospects of their candidates and the hardships each has encountered on their campaign trails. Afterward, the audience engaged in a lively discussion with the students about the prospective candidates and campaign issues important to college students.
