The beginning of the end

As the Western marching band's chorus pounds across Western Hall and countless students continue to file in, it's hard not to feel some excitement. The night is the culmination of four nights of debate and untold man-hours in an effort to bring voter awareness to the students of WIU. Although we will only be able to see if this worked a year from now, tonight’s turnout is encouraging.

Anywhere you look inside Western Hall, posters cover the walls and rails; a last ditch effort to show candidate strength. Obama/Edwards and Rudy/McCain are everywhere and always together.

Uncle Sam is rallying enthusiasm on stage, and it appears that almost everyone is here. Everyone is about to stand for the National Anthem, and the night has officially begun.
