Soros Can't Counter Campus Conservatives

Morton Blackwell the legendary politically organizer explains why Soros is wasting his money:
George Soros and his wealthy friends cannot write checks big enough to increase significantly the resources the left already spends on American college campuses.

Not all college professors and administrators are leftists, but the great majority of the politically active ones are, as Dan Flynn's "Deep Blue Campuses" proved.

Take all the money which pays the salaries of leftist professors and administrators. Add the money spent on the leftist, official student newspapers. Add the college funds and the compulsory student fee money spent to bring off-campus leftists to speak during the school year and at graduation ceremonies.

Then add in all the compulsory student activity fees money poured into leftist student organizations. And the support national left-wing organizations pour into support of the vast array of campus leftist groups.
The law of diminishing returns has set in, how much more left-wing can the Cornell Political Science department get?
