OU Meeting Draws Huge Media Pool

Today's gathering of "centrist" present and past political figures at the University of Oklahoma in Norman may be one of the most-reported events of this presidential election year.

About 175 reporters and photographers, including those from every major New York City media outlet, plan to attend, said Catherine Bishop, OU's vice president of communications.

The New York interest, of course, occurs because its mayor, Independent Michael Bloomberg, is a participant and possible third-party candidate for president.

The meeting is being hosted by OU President David Boren and Sam Nunn, Democrat and former U. S. Senator from Georgia. It ends at 1 p.m. today with a scheduled news conference.
