Timing of Wisconsin recall election not good for the student vote

The Wisconsin State Journal reports:
On a warm, sun-splashed evening during final exams week, senior Matt Hochhauser knocks on doors on UW-Madison's fraternity row.

His mission: To get students who are preoccupied with studying and summer plans to think about an election that is just weeks away.

"It's very difficult because we have such a short amount of time to get people to vote," said the English and history major from Long Island, N.Y., who was canvassing Langdon Street for the Democratic Party on Monday night.
Great moments of the Democrat party.
