I would put Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, LSU and Arkansas farther to the left. If you go into DRA you can see that most of these campuses are in the high 50's/low 60's in their support for Obama. Georgia should be right next to Florida.
I don't know about that. This is Obama's under-30 percentage in each of the SEC states (2008):
61 Florida
59 Missouri
56 Mississippi
55 South Carolina
55 Tennessee
54 Texas
51 Kentucky
50 Alabama
49 Arkansas
48 Georgia
48 Louisiana
Remember that all 14 SEC universities are whiter and richer than the overall under-30 population in their states. That's why UF and Mizzou are the only ones left of center, along with Georgia that I put based on anecdotal evidence. And perhaps I should put it even more liberal.
Here's the % Obama got in each university's county (not including the state capitals):
62.77 Georgia
57.71 Florida
50.20 Mississippi State
50.17 Missouri
49.32 Kentucky
41.48 Ole Miss
40.68 Alabama
40.07 Arkansas
39.23 Auburn
34.43 Tennessee
31.23 Texas A&M
Obviously this isn't necessarily an indicator of much, since many students are still registered back at home, it does give an approximation of the universities' environment.
I can buy putting Georgia to the left for sure though.
