Politics on the Hudson

Think you can work a connection to Hofstra into an invite to next week’s third and final presidential debate? Think again. Newsday reports that the college expects to hand out only about 150 tickets for the roughly 1,000 seats in the room; about 6,800 students entered the bidding for those spots. Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi is hoping for two tickets, but that’s all. Most are controlled by the Commission on Presidential Debates, the official presenter of the event.
