I went to Polling Places in Oakland and Walnut Creek and asked people who just voted why they voted and how they felt. I then sampled representations of their answers and put it music I composed in Reason And Pro Tools.
It can be used in its 3:20 entirety or faded out as needed.

Review of Election Day 2008 NewsDub
I love this format. It's a great way to think about and reflect on what we've heard in the news.
Sometimes music and news clips are used to editorialize. This particular example maintained some neutrality, and for that reason I think might be useful as filler in a news program.
My only complaint is it would be nice to hear something - perhaps in the formatting - that made it clearer when we were hearing a pundit and when we were hearing a person on the street.
