Singing its praises as a presidential debate site, Sen. Charles Schumer has fired off a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates to give his "unqualified support for choosing Hofstra University" in its bid to host what would be this state's first presidential debate in 40 years.
Calling the campus an "ideal venue," Schumer says, "Hofstra is armed and ready to host one of the most signficant events in the 2008 election" and that he will work hard toward "persuading the commission" pick the campus.
