"Your Money and Your Life:" Nick Gillespie Talks with C-SPAN's Susan Swain & NYTimes' Charles Blow about 2012 Election
On Wednesday, October 17, I was privileged to participate in a conversation with C-SPAN's Susan Swain and New York Times' columnist Charles M. Blow about the upcoming election. We focused especially on economic and tax issues, along with generational warfare. Take a look and a listen by clicking above.
It's a fun and spirited discussion, helped along by the use of cell phone technology that allowed the audience to automatically vote on a series of questions, such as who they planned to vote for, what issues they thought were most important, and the like.
The event took place at Purdue University in Indiana and was sponsored by the school's Project Impact, which brings speakers to campus and hosts interactive debates and conversations.

Did I hear an unhappy catch in her voice as she introduced Nick?
Heh heh. Nick is a "nationally known" "journalist"
W00T for The Jacket
I like how the NY Times guy keeps trying to hang Republican arguments around the Jacket's neck.
He sockpuppets here as "Palin's Buttplug".
Looks like there were about 15 people in the audience, in an auditorium of about 1,000? The Jacket can really draw a crowd.
Not going to watch the video 'til later. How'd The Fonz do?
Chuck Blow is a pretty awesome name.
The Jacket abides
"Becoming a commodity"? Not to be racist, but heading up a division at a major newspaper at 24 years old reeks of affirmative action. Just saying. Nick is brilliant at what he does and had to ghost-write for Allissa Milano, while this guy clearly drank his way through a fake major and gets to head up a division a the NY Times (or whichever paper he mentioned)! WT-effin-F?!!!
