We know that the College had nothing to do with these inconveniences because the event was run primarily by people from the outside and this adds to the frustration because it reminds us that people can have a big impact on our lives from a long way away. Was all this worth a 27 minute speech by President Bush? Was it a fair trade-off? It certainly was. Tom Renner made a good point (see front page story) when he said that simply experiencing the rally is a wonderful lesson in how the political process works during an election —the political process where candidates attract the media to events like this to influence people on the campaign trail. We gain an inside view into the 30 second blurbs we Letters to the editor often see on CNN from the campaign trail. This gives us a new and different perspective of the election process and Bush rally raises some criticism perhaps a deepening appreciation for the people who create productions like the one we took part in.
