4 years after ‘Obamamania,’ excitement over presidential race wanes on college campuses

ELMHURST, Ill. — What a difference four years can make.

In 2008, college campuses were filled with campaign posters and political rallies — and frenzy. Remember “Obamamania?” This year, it’s difficult to find a college student who’s truly excited about the presidential race.

“Politics has gone back to that thing you don’t want to bring up,” says Abraham Mulberry. He’s a freshman at Elmhurst College in suburban Chicago who’s trying to start a club for young Democrats.

Last election, his campus had an active Students for Obama chapter, organized well before the election. But this time, there’s nary a campaign placard, for either President Barack Obama or Republican candidate Mitt Romney.

“I wouldn’t say the election is the No. 1 hot-button issue here,” Mulberry says, disappointedly.

That’s funny.

The College Republicans at the University of Virginia are very excited about the election.
