Senator Barack Obama has an overwhelming lead over Senator John McCain when it comes to college newspaper endorsements.  According to CDA's internal tally, Senator Obama currently leads Senator McCain by a spread of 74 to 1. 

This spread is not surprising however when you consider the policies that each candidate represents.  Young people now realize that they have to pay the price of eight years of failed Bush economic policies - policies that John McCain would continue.  It’s become increasingly harder to secure loans to attend college, and the job market for college graduates is getting smaller.  Now more than ever, young people understand that we can’t afford four more years of the same; they understand that Senator Obama will bring us the change we need.
