Cornellians ‘Get Out the Vote’ in Battleground State of Pa.
|
STROUDSBERG, Pa. — 63 of Cornell’s most politically active were right at home on Main Street in Stroudsburg, Pa. this past weekend. From the used bookshop on the corner, to the pub down the block, to the American flags on the lampposts, the view from downtown Stroudsburg is as close to “America’s Main Street” as one could imagine.
51 members of the Cornell Democrats and 12 of the Cornell College Republicans made the two-and-a-half hour drive to Stroudsburg to campaign for their respective candidates in a crucial battleground state during the most important weekend of this election. Stroudsburg is in Monroe County, where President George Bush won by a mere four votes in 2004.
