During the fall general election campaign, Glenn made a number of television and speaking appearances throughout the country. He was a guest on the Al Jazeera English network’s "Inside Story", a news program that airs daily on the 24-hour channel. He was also a panelist at an event titled "Young, Black and Ready to Vote" in St. Louis, Missouri, sponsored by the Center for American Progress’s campus outreach group, Campus Progress, and held prior to the 2008 United States vice-presidential debate. In late October, he moderated a panel at Harvard about Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin featuring, among others, GOP media consultant and CNN contributor Alex Castellanos. In April 2009, when Obama for America campaign manager David Plouffe was a visiting fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics, Glenn moderated a panel with Plouffe at the IOP's John F. Kennedy Forum.
