Scotty's Shotgun Reflections #1

After less than 24 hours on the trip, things are already settling nicely. The first event we went to check out was The Mayor's Cup battle between local d-3 colleges, Wilkes U. and Kings College. I know it's low level college football, but the lack of a tailgate...the non-drinking... was a little strange, to be honest. This is Big-10 country, but Penn State has the weekend off, so you think they'd be raging. Speaking of Penn State, we are heading to State College, PA because we heard about some events happening there from both campaigns. We did talk to people who had come out to the Armory for one of those "Super-Sales" where they advertise laptops for $99, but when you get there, it's $7 admission and the cheapest laptops are suddenly 200 bucks or more. So they were ready to talk and luckily not just about being pissed about the rip-off. We will have an edited story from out travels sometime tonight so stay tuned for that.
I called this Scotty's shotgun reflections because I am sitting shotgun and these are my latest thoughts. But something I saw at the truck stop, surprised me. Actually Drew pointed it out, I shot the photo. Take a look, my guess is, no doubt this guy owns a shotgun...This is just an example of what we are trying to do at electionroad.com. We will bring you content in a variety of formats as quickly and as often as possible. Look for updates on flickr, ustream, facebook, twitter, and anywhere else we can possibly get this content out there.
You might want to know the point of this whole shindig. Well Drew and set out do something different (and in hopes that someone of importance sees this and gives us high-paying and awesome jobs, of course!). Instead of listening to the pundits on CNN or FoxNews (they're just raise their own stakes, anyway), or reading the Washington Post or Wall Street Journal, we are talking to THE PEOPLE. So far, they seem to be opinionated and informed, and most importantly for us...ready to talk. We will have many more updates soon, so keep checking us out. Also, if you have suggestions, comments or ideas, we really DO want to hear from you.

Thanks for tuning in!

Scotty
