Young Republicans Support Palin

MLWGS' Young Republicans are supporting their candidate via a variety of means this election season, including groups who “occasionally go to the phones to help out,” according to club sponsor Mr. Matt McGuire. Other endeavors include “stuffing…envelopes, putting up yard signs, [and] handing out literature.”

When asked to describe the group’s efforts on behalf of the McCain campaign, Mr. McGuire called them “traditional campaign activities” overall and added that they are “fun” but “productive.”

Despite these various projects, when asked about the McCain campaigns prospects Spencer Pigg ('11), a member of the Young Republican team that participated in a lunchtime debate with the Young Democrats, said, "I think it's pretty hopeless."
