nice background piece, nicer ending....
Like a mobile SWAT team for news, the CNN Express bus is a high-tech tool that comes in handy when busy presidential candidates can’t sit down for a long interview.
“It’s hard to get them nailed down to specific places, so the bus allows us to go to them. We had Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, McCain, Huckabee, Romney,” Rubin said. “We actually drove Joe Biden to the airport one time, doing the interview as we went.”
Some 20 yards outside the bus, King sat in an open-air studio, interviewing Texas Rep. Ron Paul about Middle East diplomacy. Several students who had stayed at the school to work as runners for CNN watched from the sidelines, star-struck.
“It’s just neat to see this all going on,” said Amanda Peters, an Amherst native and recent graduate of Saint Anselm College. “To literally in one moment be watching a live shot filmed, and before they’re almost done turn around and Ron Paul is stepping out of a car right behind you – it’s a little bit surreal.”
