In an effort to capture the coveted "ADHD" vote (political humor?), I'll bullet out my initial thoughts on the class, in addition to some notes about my political background:
- I'm more likely to argue a social issue than a fiscal one.
- I've assisted a family member in multiple elections when he made runs for prosecutor (once) and congress (twice). All three times were unsuccessful, but I'll never regret a second of the experiences.
- I have great respect for The Daily Show and Colbert Report's coverage of politics. Not that it's the only source I use, but it is the only source a lot of my peers use. I've watched TDS since "Craigers" hosted in the late '90s.
- I have a huge interest in Web marketing, social networking and their combined effect on this year's election. I'd really like to focus on this area during this course.
- I enjoy watching the West Wing. How is this relevant? I don't know.
- While I really want to get my video skill set up to a respectable level, I'm certainly more of a producer than an editor in the video realm.
- I'd really like to see the ability for students to branch off into areas other than video in the course. When video projects are needed, I'd like to see the very experienced teamed up with the no-so-experienced. I know this sounds like a given, but it's not likely to happen without a little organization.
- Can Facebook predict the election outcome? I'm not sure, but I'm eager to find out.
