I've been talking with a few of my friends from college (evangelical university, mind you), and several of them have made donations--to Obama--in the last week or so.
I find that quite interesting (and cool)--they aren't fooled into voting for him based on moral faux-conservatism, and social justice plays a much bigger parts in the votes of the evangelical 20- and 30-something generation than it does for the older generations. And yes, many of them are moms, but there's no identification with Palin there. I'm happy to see that.
The only die-hard Republican I know (and I have a lot of conservative/religious friends!) is someone who is not religious in any way--she's financially conservative, though doesn't care for the moral legislation bit of her party... so I'm working on that point with her.
I would not be surprised if the majority of my old college professors will be voting for Obama as well--there's a reason that many of us graduated from that university with surprisingly liberal attitudes (even those who still remain in the fold). The bio profs are all evolutionists, for example, and I know they won't stand for Palin's creationist stance.

My Aug. and Sept. donations are not on the list. If you're using a CC you have to enter the zip code of that CC's mailing address. I used my current address and got nothing, then switched to my drop box mail forwarding addy and found me.
Yeah isn't it odd that educated people tend not to be social conservatives? A few hundred years ago it was the earth is flat and the center of the solar system. Now it's 6000 years old and evolution is a crock. Least now we're not burning people at the stake for not agreeing with the church, least not yet.
