Students Wish MSNBC Viewers a Cheery ‘Good Morning’

Politics professor Larry Sabato is pretty adept at finding the limelight, and he’s equally generous in sharing it; he shares credit for much of his work with his colleagues at U.Va.’s Center for Politics, and they are quoted almost as often as he is in media reports.

Now, it seems, he is training a new generation.

Undergraduate students in Sabato’s extremely popular American politics class entered and won the “Good Morning Challenge,” a daily video submission contest held by the MSNBC news show, “The Daily Rundown.” The program invites people to submit videos of themselves introducing the program, and chooses the best one each day to air nationwide.

This morning, MSNBC viewers were greeted with this video:

Here’s what they said: “Good morning from the University of Virginia! Wahoo-wah! It is Thursday, February 21, 2013, and this is ‘The Daily Rundown.’ Now here’s Chuck Todd.”

And yes, Cavman made a cameo.
