As a parent, I find it interesting and refreshing that the current student body president, who is an 06, created some stir when he was elected, for being a conservative Christian and the incoming president, as someone mentioned, is openly homosexual. I think that says a lot for the variety of opinion, and the fact that political process is actually vibrant - real politics. I agree with FountainSiren that the students I have met don’t seem to wear their politics on their sleeves, although they can get into a political debate given the right incentives! I really think that it is a healthy balance of perspectives, with a good dose of respect and willingness to hear and debate the other side.
