I’m at the Ohio attorney general debate at YSU, which has been one bumble after another. The media parking lot was closed, but I’m Youngstown savvy enough to find a good spot. The place isn’t half full, but the few media members here are as far away as possible. (more)
The Youngstown Press Club is the sponsor and I’m a member & they’ve got primo seats. I should have just gone through them. Then the YSU person working upstairs with media got me out of my seat to show me where post-debate interviews will be and it’s 10 feet away.
