Obama’s student organizing in New Hampshire is hitched to Facebook founder and Obama staffer Chris Hughes, who all day yesterday drove students to vote absentee in the Granite State’s Jan. 8 primary. The event was organized through Facebook, of course.

More than 500 people were invited to the event, but only 24 people actually signed up for the event online.

With an early Jan. 8 primary in New Hampshire, some students will not have returned from winter break. Obama’s campaign is smartly throwing out hooks before finals start and the semester ends by driving early voters to the polls.
