And Hope College, both conservative and well-known colleges here in Michigan, endorsed for Obama?

Ah, I don't think so. Biased reporting. Using only the "facts" that fit the template.

Suzy C. After I had a couple beers, I sat done to read the gossip in my college rag. I got so engrossed in the gossip that I realized that the polls had closed.

Sorry  Dude Obama !!!!!! 

So many unasked and thus unanswered questions make evaluations of the "youth vote" difficult. How many of the likely voters are still in schools, colleges, and universities? How many are blacks? Those whoa re still in schools are subject to almost surely intense propaganda from faculties. I have visited a well-known Ivy college during an election season and was struck at the uniformly leftist cast of visiting speakers and pro-Democrat signs and posters on office walls. Once, when I was in Carlisle, Pa., for a backpackers' meeting, the high school classrooms where we met had only Clinton-Gore signs. Dole-Kemp? Nowhere to be seen.

The incentive for blacks to vote is obvious. Catholics had a similar incentive in 1960, but media propaganda pushing them to vote for JFK on that basis was notable by its absence. This time, the propaganda for people to vote for Obama because he is black (or apparently so, since he is mixed-race) is intense. An AP story telling that one-third of white Democrats were less likely to vote for Obama for racial reasons. The survey questions, which the AP made available, showed that negatives applied to blacks did not apply to Obama himself. E.g., judgments that blacks were lazy, violent, and irresponsible could not apply to Obama. (Oddly, the survey never asked respondents whether such terms applied to Obama.) 

Further, AP writers ignored another question, which showed that, of all respondents, 6% were less likely to vote for Obama for racial reasons, 6% were more likely, and 82% did not care. So the story and a "model" showing that Obama was set to lose 6% of voters for racial reasons amounted to propaganda, not fair analysis of the facts in the AP's own survey. As should be obvious to anyone with eyes, countervailing forces will push many voters to prefer Obama. Understandable, no doubt, but the existence of those pressures ought to be reported.

As to the endorsements, one has to wonder whether it is suitable for newspapers in educational establishments, many of them recipients of federal and state funds, directly or indirectly, should be in the endorsement business. People do not choose to buy the newspapers. Colleges do not sponsor competing newspapers, to the best of my knowledge. A few educational institutions may be free of government funding entanglements, but one wonders whether any one of the endorsing newspapers is associated with such a university.

But the press has behaved with shocking corruption in this election cycle; one can expect lots more corruption elsewhere in our society. The schools, colleges, and universities will continue. As to the news media, one ought to remind them of the proof of their corrupt coverage of this election. The U.S. fourth estate has damaged its credibility irreparably. Only massive reform, starting in the colleges and ending in the news media, can restore the trust of most Americans, a reform that will not occur.

My alma mater, the University of Virginia, is not among these schools.  However, it is not unusual for the Cavalier Daily, UVa's primary school paper, to not endorse someone before Election Day.  It will add its endorsement on Election Day, but there is not much hope there.  Knowing many of the writers there of the past, it seems likely that the vote will go at least to 64-1.

When I look back at how stupid I was in college, how wrong I was about mostly everything, how irresponsible, ignorant and undisciplined I was back then, it is no surprise that many college kids will vote for Hussein.  

I found it interesting our local channel(WFTV of Barbara West fame or infamy depending) reported last week that the students at Bethune Cookman had a march to the polls day where 3,000 students marched and others were bussed to the polls so they would not have to wait online in order to vote.  I believe they had the day off to vote???????

While I love that young people and all people are involved this election I wonder????

Even with early voting you cannot help but wonder if they are voting early because when they see the lines as 1st time voters they are unaware that on Election day there will be about 6,000 polling places open and therefore no or fewer lines.
