A failure of Hillary's

From one of Mark Penn's memos leaked to The Atlantic:
Organize on college campuses. We may not be number 1 there, but we have a lot of fans—more than enough to sustain an organization in every college.
This turned out not to be true. I don't remember Hillary having much a presence at the large state university I went to, which did have active groups in support of Obama and Ron Paul. While I don't have polling or anything to back this up, I feel like she defintely would have been behind Obama, Paul, Edwards, and McCain in support and maybe behind Huckabee as well. And of course, Obama destroyed her on college campuses overall. Or perhaps this was a failure of the organizers and Penn was right.
