Swatties spend break campaigning for ’08 election

While many returned home to family and friends this winter break, seven Swatties immersed themselves in the democratic process by volunteering for the campaigns of the 2008 presidential candidates. Between them, they supported four candidates – Obama, Romney, Richardson and Edwards – in three states – New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina and two students have decided to spend the semester supporting their candidate instead of returning to the college.
