Come by The Hub tonight at 6 PM to watch the first Presidential Debate between Barack Obama and John McCain.  The Debate Watching Party is organized by the Claremont Political Union (Claremont Democrats and Republicans) and open to all 5C students.  Over 100 students are expected to attend and rumor has it local news stations might show up as well…

P.S. Refreshments (pizza?) will be served.

It was barely after 5 pm, and CNN had announced no surprises (“Romney Wins Massachusetts!” “Obama wins Illinois!”), but CMC students were steadily arriving with their laptops and to-go boxes from Collins. They were coming to The Hub to see the makeshift projection TV and watch Wolf Blitzer at the Super Tuesday Results Party hosted by the Claremont Political Union.

The Claremont Political Union was created as a confluence of the Claremont Democrats and Claremont Republicans clubs, and CMC’s two partisan newspapers, the Claremont Port Side, and the Claremont Independent.
