History evolves on the seventh day of November. Only a month and a half left for nail-nibbling and news binging. It s election day. The 2000 campaign is nearing its climax, but a pathetic percentage of Americans are not even aware of the major event. The transition of leadership for the nation is about to take place, but the citizenry is apathetic.
College students are even more so.
Those living in the microcosm of dorm life and pizza delivery are tragically ill-informed. It s pretty safe to assume that few people even know how many candidates are or were even in the run. Initially 25 people announced their candidacy. Still in the game for the long haul are nine candidates. Although nine remain on the ballot, based on the way the media is covering and analyzing the campaigns these two are the only ones wavering on the votes.
