Freshman
Age 18
Democrat
"I think it's a good choice [choosing Biden] because he has experience, he has a lot of foreign policy. At the same time Obama's thing is all about change and new politics …"
Matt Martinez
Freshman
Age 18
Republican
"I don't like the choice because Joe Biden had some questionable things in college about plagiarizing papers that he wrote and so it's a thing of ethics and if he doesn't have any ethics and morals and stuff, it's not good."
Sean McCollom
Freshman
Age 18
Democrat
"As his [Obama's] running mate I don't know too much about Biden … as far as Biden that's something that I'd have to look into and kind of get behind before I speak on that. But as far as Obama goes he really has my vote and I really like his views."
Mark Gehrke
Sophomore
Age 19
Democrat
"I'm really glad that he chose Biden because Biden has more experience and that might win him over the vote with some people who feel that he's not as experienced as some of the other candidates were."
Christina Mihalka
Senior
Age 21
Political affiliation: Undecided
"It's good that he [Obama] chose someone that likes him so that there will be cooperation … I think it's funny that people say he snuffed Hillary … I think Hillary would be as happy being his running mate."
