In a somewhat surprising move, that underscores the importance of voting in the Indiana Democratic Primary, Bill Clinton will be speaking tonight at West Lafayette Jr/Sr High. I really find this interesting, especially given that IU is a larger Democratic hotbed and will be getting Chelsea Clinton and Sean Astin. Perhaps they think that Clinton will sway the more conservative West Lafayette Democratic party members?
The question of the night is ... why is this event being held at the high school and not on Purdue's campus? The word on the street is ... they thought that LOEB Playhouse was too small (1,038 occupancy), but that Clinton would not be able to fill any other campus venue (the gym at Westside is can hold around 1,800 with standing room).
