Show Your Colors: Red or Blue?
With the election coming up the presedential race seems to become more important everyday. But here at Witt it doesn't seem that way. To me Witt doesn't seem like a very politically active campus. I know that the college republicans and yound democrats are on campus but I dont see them advertising or trying to make any changes to campus. But it does seem that the student body and the faculty seem to be more liberal than conservative. Look at cars in the parking lots and see their bumper stickers, look at water bottles to see the decorative stickers on them. Even look at your timeline on Twitter or your Facebook news feed, and more often than not you will see more pro-Obama posts than pro-Romney ones. It may be that people in society are more proud to be a democrat rather than being a republican. To me it seems that republicans are portrayed as the bad guys, stealing from the poor and giving to the rich, and that the democrats are the good guys helping those in need and making everything right, but I know that's not right, each party has its flaws. Witt does seem to lean more towards the democratic party, but that just may be because of social stereotypes.

I do agree with your blog, but also I think there is more pro-Obama cause some republicans are ashamed that Mitt Romney is their presidential canidate. It's like when the democrats had Kerry against Bush, there were quite a few democrats that were against Kerry
