Obama Is the Change We Need
It’s hard to get MIT students involved in politics. We’re politically aware, but not very politically active. We sit in our rooms reloading <i>fivethirtyeight.com</i>, and we crack political jokes when the opportunity arises, but we consider ourselves too busy to get out our phone and make calls or get in a car and canvass in New Hampshire. We’ve got problem sets, demos, papers, grants, and dissertations to worry about. To many, this election is a form of entertainment to be enjoyed at a distance.
