MIAMI -- Two years ago, the University of Miami could not get enough Barack Obama. The campaign rally he held here felt like a rock concert, his face appeared on T-shirts all over campus, and pro-Obama volunteers registered 2,000 new voters.
Meetings of the College Democrats that attracted 200 people in 2008 now pull in a dozen. New voter registration is way down, too, and free posters of President Obama -- once "the Michael Jordan" of politics, as one freshman put it -- are now refused by students. "It's not the fad anymore," said Jessica Kirsner, 21, a junior from Houston and vice president of the College Democrats. "It's not the fad to be politically knowledgeable and active."

The belief is that when single mothers return to school they’ll get the training they have to have to come back to the employed pool. More mums that enter in the workforce raises spending and from this investing of dollars the economic system will increase.
