I sympathize with my Republican colleagues, however. I imagine that if America had just experienced seven years of a failed Democratic presidency, over a decade of a corrupt Democratic congress, and had a slate of Democratic presidential candidates as buffoonish as Rudy McRomney, that the Drexel Democrats would find their student support as lackluster as the Drexel Republicans do now.

Truth be told, I'm a little disappointed with the lack of a right-wing counterpart on campus. An active College Republican group on campus would help start a conversation and debate on campus about politics, and when young people think about politics, Democrats win. Also, Sean and I had hoped that the CR blog would provide endless hours of entertainment and fodder for our own blog. Instead, it's been a little quiet.

Compared to other schools College Republican's, Drexel's former groups haven't even been that bad. Oftentimes CR groups are run by the rascist, ignorant, and thuggish types. That's not an unfounded assertion, ask around. Our's, by contrast, was always pretty quiet. They never did the stupid "Catch an Illegal Immigrant Day" stuff designed to be inflammatory, or award any "white scholarships" like other CR groups. They even helped our side out with an own-goal when Rick Santorum came to Drexel in 2005.

So I write this not just because we like to poke gentle fun at our right-wing campus colleagues, but with a genuine interest in seeing the CRs get their act together. As I offered before, we'll even be so gracious as to sign your membership petition to get recognized.
