College campuses are a hotbed of lefty politics, but this may be the first college to provide credit to campaign for Democrats.



In what is believed to be the only college program of its kind, the undergraduates in Occidental College’s Campaign Semester course spent at least 2 1/2 months, often seven days a week, 12 hours a day, working on behalf of candidates in contested states.

None won. You should be able to guess why none of them won. Many were resoundingly defeated, although two students worked for the reelection campaign of Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, who is in a runoff. All of the students worked for Democratic candidates;

Why bother with the learning stuff when you can just send them straight out as volunteer labor while their parents pay for the class?
