Public Reaction: VP Debate. DC Street Interviews.
Matt De Vlieger and Franco Fernandez hit the streets of DC during the 2012 Vice Presidential debate to see what locals thought of the candidates. After a chat with a cab driver and an unsuccessful stop to a prime political hot spot where nobody was paying attention to the event, we went back out and stopped a few places before calling it a night. It took a while before we found a viewing hub, but Busboys and Poets was packed with a crowd that was enthralled with the viewing screens around the cafe. See the video to hear what folks had to say.
