Newsweek- CMC and Fantasy Congress
This news is old already, but our alma mater where Fantasy Congress was born, Claremont McKenna College (CMC) was in Newsweek. Check out the article here. Here’s the gist though:
Hottest for Election Year
Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, Calif.
Two of every five CMC students major in government/international relations. Most of the rest are also talking politics, the campus obsession. Few selective colleges in America have such ideologically balanced faculties and student bodies. Speakers like Bill Clinton and Justice Antonin Scalia dropped by last spring, and neither was tarred and feathered. CMC, one of the five Claremont Colleges, is vibrating with anticipation of the 2008 presidential race. Andrew Lee, a recent graduate and political junkie who created the Fantasy Congress Web site, says that on long campus weekends he and his friends would skip the beach and drive to a state with a hot election and knock on doors for their favorites.
