In Scott Hall on Tuesday night, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer blared over the buzz of the remaining twenty chatting students and professors. A small T.V., a projector/Internet combination and a whiteboard kept score in the front of the room while 7UP cans and a pile of pizza boxes littered the back.

This was the scene at the tail end of the political science department’s primary-watching party, one of a few Super Tuesday gatherings on campus. Here’s what some participants had to say about their candidates, the media and the voting experience.

Ron Paul and the media: Adric Garlick, environmental science senior

Horrible CNN coverage: Sebastian Karcher, political science graduate student

Obama’s results: Cari Hennessy, political cience graduate student

An “amazing experience:” Lexie Komisar, political science junior
