Free Concert for Obama

I have several friends who waited in line last night for over three hours in order to pick up a free concert ticket to see Dave Matthews play at Assembly Hall this Sunday. He is coming in order to host a campaign concert/rally for Barack Obama. What a great way to gain the support of the college crowd. Personally, I would have preferred if Obama himself made his way to IU in order to speak to the students. This way we actually be informed about the person we may choose to vote for; it would be less like bribing kids to vote and more like inspiring them. I heard that the ticket office ran out of tickets this morning but failed to mention this to the lengthy line waiting outside. Instead, when the unaware students entered the building, they registered them to vote and then sent them out in another direction so they wouldn't tell the other students who were still waiting in line. If this is true (I'm not exactly sure if it is.) I think it's a bit sneaky. Letting people register on their own accord would be a better idea.
