re: Are Colleges Really Liberal Bubbles?

Yes colleges are breeding grounds for liberals. But I don't think a college (LSU , for example) has much of an affect on the way a parish/county (East Baton Rouge Parish, for example) votes. Many college students are from different counties and different states from the university in which they attend. So they probably aren't even voting here.
As what poster YA Tittle said, LSU isn't what made EBR turn blue. It was most likely North BR.

I think there are some places where they can drive political persuasion and other places, where they don't.
I think Austin, Texas, is an example of a place where the flagship university presence likely does so to a large extent.
I'm not sure what makes such schools more influential on their locales than others, but it certainly seems to be the case.
