Reply #2: The 'College Republican' trend is overstated.

[nickgutierrez]

Of course these guys are going to get an excessive amount of attention -- they're Republicans. The media, which is to say the corporations that own the media, is dominated by Republicans, and they like airing opinions that are similar to theirs.

I'm a student at a prominent university, with a well-respected economics department, and our College Republicans are a joke. They have numbers, but are consistently shouted down at their events. The left isn't 'losing' colleges so much as the right is overexaggerating their influence.
