Revisiting the Past – although this week’s big success should put some of the ugly part of Oxford’s history behind us, a video that my buddy Jeff sent me is one last reminder of what happened in 1962.

[The Debate] was the first time I had been back there on that campus since 1962

Of all the stories I’ve covered, including the war in Vietnam, the most terrifying experience I ever had was on that night on the campus of Ole Miss when a riot broke out.

Watch the rest of the Video here.  Make sure to stick around to the end to see all the nice things he says about our town.

Present: Debate Pictures – Here and here are some great shots from around the event.

The Future – The excitement continues this week with Palin and Biden squaring off in the first and only VP debate at Washington University in St. Louis.  A buddy of mine who worked with journalists during our debate in Oxford said that nearly 3,500 press credentials were requested.  Already, nearly 7,000 journalists have requested access to this one in St. Louis.  Should be very interesting.
