Xavier student pundits

From Xavier University:

For the third year in a row, more than a dozen Xavier University students will be on the front lines when they will help anchor election night coverage for CitiCable on Tuesday, November 6. CitiCable, cable channel 23, is the government access channel for the City of Cincinnati.

The students, who are sophomores in the Philosophy, Politics and the Public (PPP) honors program, will do live reports and analysis from the Hamilton County Board of Elections during CitiCable’s election night coverage from 8:00-11:00 p.m. The coverage is part of the students’ assignment for a “Mass Media & Politics” class.

In addition to reporting election night numbers, the students will also provide analysis on Cincinnati’s city council race and key citywide ballot issues. They will also take a broader look at election campaigns and how they function.

“The students provide a detailed look at registered voters and how wards and precincts can play key roles in campaign strategy,” explains Gene Beaupre, director for government relations and PPP professor.

I'm with you, Anon 12:01. Skip the regular channels who insist on running the shows & nightly programming & then break in with results from Podunk County.

I want my local races. I want continuous updates.

The XU students do a fabulous job. All I have to do is sit in the comfy chair & watch the action.

I have spent the last few years at the BOE on Election night and it is an electric atmosphere. So if there is any Xavier student there tomorrow who has not done it before, they will be in for a treat.

I didn't want to say this, being a proud alum of UC, but the students from Xavier University did an incredible job with the election analysis. They provided informative insight that I usually don't find on this local of a level, especially coming from such young people. Those students not only knew their stats, the backgrounds of the candidates, and the campaign strategy, but they knew how to apply their knowledge to a complicated array of numbers... and make them make sense. I can't say that for a lot of professional political analysts.
