If only it was that easy.
Also-
Why is the presidential candidate weighed instead of the Gubernatorial candidate for that state?

Take the number of times that your state voted for the Democratic Candidate for president in the last 5 elections. Add 2 if Gay Marriage is legal in your state. Add 3 if there is an active Gay and Lesbian group on campus. Subtract 3 if a ban on Gay Marriage has been written into the State Constitution. Subtract 5 if the University President really has to be of the same Religion as the group that started the school. Subtract 5 if the school requires you to attend chapel every week.

Which State and University? I can probably figure it out. :)

(BTW, in just one week, my state gets an extra point when civil unions become legal!)

Montevallo in Alabama...being a state school helps it be a little more liberal, but I remember in high school being told it was soooooo liberal only to get there and remember down here, liberal is relative. The Greeks are getting there though, generally speaking.

Civil Unions aren't in the calculation I gave, but one point for Civil Unions sounds right. Illinois, right?

Alabama bans it in the State Constitution. So Montevallo is +3 for SPECTRUM and -3 for the State Constitution for zero. Of course Alabama has *everything* in its state constitution (longest in the world!)
