Wittenberg: Conservative or Liberal?

 

     With the upcoming election and all the buzz about politics around campus, it's no surprise that the question of Wittenberg's political views comes into question.  Being a citizen that is not as informed as she probably should be about the presidential campaign, I do not really take notice to the overall political "feel" of our university.  However, through discussions in our news writing class, I am beginning to notice things around campus that scream either democrat or republican.  For instance, there is a house on the edge of Fountain Ave. that has a home-made sign in front that supports Obama and has a big pair of lips on it, possibly giving Obama a kiss?  Also, I am noticing bumper stickers on cars across campus; many of which are supporting liberal candidates or liberal issues.  Regardless of whether or not students feel that they are up to date with the current election, they are being exposed to it daily just by being on campus.  And the overwhelming support of liberal ideals makes me believe that this exposure may be painting a biased picture for those of us who are not as politically aware and savvy.
