Jane Pauley campaigns for Obama



Sep 21, 2008

Indianapolis - Former Today Show and Dateline co-host Jane Pauley returned to Indiana Sunday in support of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Pauley started her day speaking to supporters at Southside Park.

The Warren Central graduate will lead a door-to-door campaign in Central Indiana.

Pauley is best known for her 13 years on NBC's Today show, but she began her career in Indianapolis.

She said for years as a journalist, she kept her political views private but now is able to express how she feels so she volunteered to help the Obama campaign.

"I sent an e-mail, subject line, 'Can Jane Pauley help Barack Obama in Indiana?' And then, kind of nervously waited and then, quickly comes the answer, capital letters: 'YES SHE CAN!' And so here I am," Pauley told Eyewitness News.

Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden is scheduled to visit Indiana on Wednesday.

3. Her husband, Garry Trudeau, discusses the election:

Trudeau is famous for depicting sitting presidents with symbols – a waffle for Bill Clinton and an asterisk for George W. Bush’s first term, for example. Looking forward, Soper takes a stab at predicting how the venerable strip may depict an Obama or McCain administration.

“Obama could be difficult, but Trudeau might target his penchant for elevated rhetoric and deeply resonant voice that can sometimes sound pretentious,” Soper guessed. “Maybe his symbol would be some kind of floating trumpet coming out of the clouds, like a pronouncement from the heavens.

“He’d have an easier time with McCain, who is often depicted as a hothead. You wonder if he’d go with a stick of dynamite with the fuse lit, or hammer the age stereotype with a walker of some kind.”
