No campus surge for Obama in Pa.

It seems unlikely that one of Obama's most loyal constituencies, Pennsylvania youth, will provide him with much of a boost.
With 159 colleges and universities and approximately 680,000 students, Pennsylvania’s campus vote would appear to be Barack Obama’s ace in the hole in the state’s April 22 primary.

Yet in a tough contest where Obama will need every vote he can get, it’s unlikely that one of his most loyal constituencies will be able to provide him with much of a boost.

One reason is the nature of the state’s college students. With numerous nationally recognized schools ranging from elite, small liberal arts colleges such as Haverford College to the Ivy League’s University of Pennsylvania, not to mention enormous public universities such as Penn State, Pennsylvania is a net importer of students.

Goes on to say they only got an estimated 5,000 student voters to register before the deadline. The vast majority of PA students come from other states, where they voted absentee. ~ :)
