“It’s a good thing for the college,” Adam Chernicoff, a sophomore from Harrisburg, offered about Biden’s impending speech, which the 20-year-old planned to attend. He figured the vice president would focus on the economy and its impact on young people both from a global and a national perspective.
When asked if Biden would make one of his famous misstatements, or perhaps just the opposite, Chernicoff, who is studying history and government, said the vice president would say “something smart.”

Connor Ortolf, 20, of Ocean City, N.J., was at first hesitant to speak, but then he said, “I think (Biden) is coming here to mobilize young people” who will be the key to the president’s re-election try.
Ortolf said he thinks Obama’s done “a good job (considering) the position he was put in,” starting his presidency in the depths of the worse recession in 80 years.
As for Romney, the economics major — who said he didn’t get around to buying a ticket for tonight, which made his friends laugh because the tickets were free — said the GOP standard bearer “is out of touch with the middle class.”
