    This kid's gonna be a legendary reporter someday. Hope youtube will still be around, then I can look back at this vid to remember the small kid that was new to news before he ascended.

    This interview is so sweet! I can't believe this promising young reporter was taken so young. Unfair! But I appreciate all that he has given.

    RIGHT ON DAMON! And Brian Zimmermen - thanks for everything you do. I think it's awesome to have a media literacy program in school. This is one of my favorite videos of the election season, actually. Damon - remember you can do anything! Can't wait to see what you choose to do - looks like being a TV reporter might be a good choice!

    Damon, your question was perfect for its relevancy and simplicity. There has been quite a bit of discussion lately about the role of the vice president, and what the Constitution says. What the VP candidates think their role will be is very important, because it influences how our country is governed. Your simple question has all sorts of possible answers, and your interview has given us a very important insight into Senator Biden and the Obama campaign. Thank you! Please keep up the good work.

    I hope that the popularity of this video gives your students the opportunity to speak to all of the candidates the way Damon got to talk with Biden. Your students' questions evoke an honesty and simplicity in the responses they get that is rarely seen in political coverage today. I genuinely feel that this video represents some of the finest political coverage of 2008. It was the right question at the right time, and it was answered with honesty and without talking points. Thank you!

    I am a public radio reporter in Nashville, TN. Damon, I think you did a fantastic job. I know how tricky it can be to hold the mic at just the right place, but you got great sound from Sen. Biden-not easy given the difference in height! The camera work is fantastic, too (sorry I'm not sure of the camera operator's name). You guys are off to a great start and could have a real career in news if you wanted. Keep up the good work!

    This is the most adorable thing I've seen in some time.
    Kudos to Senator Biden for accurately answering the question in terms that the kids could understand (you taking notes, Governor Palin?)
    And absolute kudos to Damon for being confident and comfortable talking to adults on that kind of a level.

    @CanalPointKECTV  15 ปีที่แล้ว

    That's what makes Damon so great is that he is just a regular kid. Biden was the first person he ever interviewed. He was never picked to do the interview. We showed up to the rally and asked for the interview. Damon had a lot of other questions to ask Biden, but we were told he was only allowed to ask one question.
