Just got the following in the inbox. Senator Barack Obama clearly wants to rev up the youth vote just before the election (Obama/Biden's also been hitting college campuses in swing states of late). And, as we all -- and John Kerry especially -- know, the proportion of youth vote did not increase in 2004. From the press release:
"Senator Barack Obama will make his fourth appearance as a guest on the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart' on Wednesday, October 29 at 11:00 p.m. (ET/PT). Obama’s last appearance on 'The Daily Show' was on April 21, the eve of the Pennsylvania Primary. The Democratic nominee for President of the United States also appeared on August 22, 2007 and November 7, 2005. Obama will appear via satellite from Florida where he continues his campaign with less than one week until Election Day."
Clever media strategy as the online discussion afterwards -- Thursday, Friday -- will probably carry on online. More Corsair here.
