Fla. Teen Documenting '08 Election
By JESSICA GRESKO

Tenth grader Noah Gray quietly pulled out his iPhone in English class and saw the e-mail he'd been waiting for.

"You're in!"

He smiled and hid his phone. The 15-year-old hadn't gotten in to a party or a sports event. The e-mail was from a spokeswoman for Univision, the Spanish television station. The news: He'd have a press pass for Sunday's Republican presidential debate in Florida.

(snip)
A local progressive radio show helped him get press credentials after interviewing him at a peace rally he organized in May.

He has interviewed four of the eight Democratic candidates and Sunday's debate will be his first chance to interview the Republicans. He also has just finished a 12-minute video called "Virgin Voting" that encourages young people to vote, and he hopes to expand the film.
