I can't tell you the political make-up of PENN campus now but when I was there PENN had a large college republican base. Remember that Wharton business school, Michael Milken anyone?, is at PENN.

My repub friend who went to Cornell and I joke that each of us went to the wrong school. PENN goes right while Cornell swings left.

When I was there, there was a big inicident involving the school paper when some *racist* jerk screamed "shut up you water buffalo" at a group of African-American women doing drill practice. It even hit the main new wires especially when a group of PENN students got together one morning and trashed all the free school papers in protest.

My take from being there at Colbert last night, the audience applause went 60/40 pro Obama. Just one biased Obama supporter's take. IMHO, my take means about as much as the paper's -- both of them are just opinions and may not represent everyone.
