I suspect this is a common phenomenon for candidates where the appeal arises from character qualities, instead of substantive issues. Of course, I don't see the character qualities that drew college kids toward Ron Paul, unless you consider whining to be a quality.
I think libertarian leanings are always a hit with the college kids. Drug policy alone probably hooks a lot of them.
