That is an excellent question, but spot on correct. I've given that question a great deal of thought. I believe it has numerous answers.
1.) Beginning in college most leftists tend to study in the humanities, especially sociology which is almost totally dominated by extreme leftist professors, where they quickly learn that to bend society to THEIR perspective, two occupations are critical: politics and the mass media. Incidentally, many of Clinton's and O'Bama's closest advisors have moved into the mass media.
2.) It is no secret that majoring in sociology is not a good way to obtain decent paying jobs. Or, for that matter, any job at all. Thus, they move into the fringes of politics and if they are lucky, they can move on to mass media where they can spread the gospel according to the leftist ideology.
Conservatives , on the other hand, tend to gravitate toward the higher paying professions. ie the "hard" sciences. However, with the advent of the www and computers that picture is changing.
