Living in a college town myself (UNI) these kids work in our stores and restaurants, many live in apartments or houses all over town. They buy food, gas, clothes and other items from our local merchants. You know the Board of Regents has a student member on it and I know some Iowa communities have student advisors or non-voting members to their city councils. UNI and it's students are very much a part of our community.

21,000 out of state Iowa college students can legally participate in the Iowa caucuses if they choose to.

I know you knew that. How Clinton campaign adviser (former Iowa Governor) Tom Vilsack didn't know that I'm not sure. I wonder what kind of support at the polls he got from out of state Iowa college students?

Here's a link to the 2002 general election canvass from the Iowa Secretary of State's office: http://www.sos.state.ia.us/pdfs/elections/2002/results/2002CoDemoGE.pdf

In my home county over 2,500 18-24 year olds voted. I wonder how many of them were from Iowa vs. how many from out of state attending UNI?
