Or was the humble press account from the local paper taken and <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/02/12/courant-treats-stu_n_86260.html" rel="nofollow">snidely dissed</a> by the HuffPo's "Political Reporter" Jason Linkins, setting the spin cycle for the rest of the echosphere?

How likely is that? And that's normal seating, not including the extra seats they could put on the stage itself (often done in these kinds of "conversations" in lots of venues). And they've never heard of simulcast to overflow rooms? Occam's Razor. Jon, they’d have to get a >85 percent turnout of students and faculty to fill the place. How likely is that?

They are barring the outside media (non-students) from being present for the speech. Did you read this to mean that there was an effective media blackout of this event?

Anyway, this is a school talk, not Davos or a deal-making session. Karl Rove isn't going to reveal some deep dark secret of major import.

From the news article it appears that more students were offended by Rove being invited in the first place.
