re: Is Athens really that liberal?

quote:

Most major universities create a liberal mindset in their city. College kids are away from their parents and making decisions on their own for the first time.

That's fine but most college students don't vote in the district their college is in, at least around here. They vote absentee in their parents' district. Usually. There are exceptions.

The student population of Athens isn't the reason it's a blue dot on the poli-sci map.
