Yes, They Did

John Lloyd of Drexel Democrats:

In 2004, 736 people voted in the 10th division of the 24th ward, which encompasses all of the dorms. That was 51% of registered voters. This year, there were 2054 voters, representing nearly 75% turnout, and 77% of those voters voted for now President-Elect(!) Obama. ...

The dormitories, some of the fraternaties/sororities, and a few houses at Drexel netted Obama more votes than John McCain netted in each of 9 other [Pennsylvania] counties that McCain won (Mercer, Greene, Fayette, Clinton, Forest, Cameron, Sullivan, Wyoming, and Pike counties). Those 9 counties (colored in red, at left) cover an average of 579 square miles each and are home to an average of 50,000 people each, and we provided Obama with a bigger lead in 24-10 than McCain got from each of those 9 rural counties, and more than Mercer, Greene, Fayette, Clinton, and Forest counties combined.

As I previously mentioned, the Drexel Dems registered 3,000 people to vote between move-in day for the fall semester and the deadline of October 6th.

I would bet you anything that the number from Centre County, where Penn State is located, tell a similar story.  Young people came out to vote in droves. Now they're political. Another reason to thank President-elect Obama and his team.
