Review of From a Thimble to a Teacup (Politics & Me)

Libby, like me and most other teenagers, know next to nothing about politics. It's easy to relate to her since this piece is personal and we used to have the same opinions in politics. She starts out as really knowing nothing but as the piece progresses we learn that she gets a job as a first time political reporter at the New Hampshire Primaries.
The piece is just her voice, which gets boring during the ending because that's all you hear. It would be nice if she had some audio of the conference, or some background music. The piece is short, about a two minutes, but even that amount gets boring without any spice. Even the short tidbit at the end about Ryan Seacrest did not make it more interesting.
