Joe Who? Students, Apathy, and Opinion Over Obama VP Choice

August 25, 2008 RSS Feed Print

A highly unscientific poll with an embarrassingly small sample size says that Oklahoma State students could care less about Joe Biden, Barack Obama's vice presidential pick, the Daily O'Collegian writes. Reactions included "Yes, but I'm working right now," "I don't care," "I'm voting for McCain anyway," and "Who?"

Other newspapers managed to find some people who did care, but most were members of partisan groups like the College Democrats and College Republicans. Check out reactions from Duke, Penn State, Boise State, Nebraska, and Illinois.
