People born in 2003 voted for Obama. I guess he really did get the youth vote.

Just because someone was sentenced to Kindergarten, doesn't mean you should take away their suffrage!!

When I see people with Obama 2012 bumper stickers I just can’t wrap my brain around it.

Help with the cost of attending college, funding more national service opportunities, and permitting young people to remain on their parent’s health insurance until age 26 are all initiatives the Obama team could raise with Millennials.

As long as they're getting everything handed to them for free why wouldn't they vote for him?

It will be interesting to me to see how many young voters actually turn out.

It was hip and cool and historical last time. This time may be the usual...”I’m too busy” attitude.

We shall see I guess.

Saw a couple of them the other day. At an Air Force Base! I can’t understand it either.

It sucks to be invited out to dinner and then be handed the check.

Will Millennials Vote for Barack Obama Again in November 2012?

Oh, I figure he will probably win a majority of those that vote, but that isn't the whole story. In 2008 he was a "rock star". It the cool, hip fad to support him, and this age group was his strongest supporters. Now in 2012, he isn't the new thing anymore, in fact he's now the establishment. So there will be nowhere near the level of support their was in 2008, there is very little enthusiasm and many will just stay home and play video games on election day.

I speed up to see what kind of idiot it is behind the wheel. And it always fits my preconceived notion. Then I try to stay far away from that driver.

Attended my local Republican Party Convention last week. I was stunned at the number of twenty-somethings in attendance. Spoke with a few young men there. Some were Ron Paul supporters but said they would vote for whoever was running against B. Hussein obama. I was encouraged...unless they were pulling a Trojan Horse kind of thing.

Maybe that’s Ron Paul’s strategy; have young voters infiltrate the republican party. Now we’re talking Van Jones theology.

“Will Millennials Vote for Barack Obama Again in November 2012?’

Yes. Of course. Why is this in doubt?

Being young is about experiencing the power of burgeoning emotions, often at the expense of rational thought.

“Hope and change” is EXACTLY what they want to hear. It’s what they “feel”. It makes no difference whether such platitudes are empty promises that have no meaning. It FEELS GOOD to embrace such things.

What’s the famous quote from Winston Churchill regarding this?

I don’t think that the exit polls were accurate, as they showed Obama winning by 57% to 41%, twice what he actually won by. These polls also claim that Obama got 78% of the Jewish vote, which is absurd.

I’d guess that the youth vote gave Obama about 60% and the Jewish vote about 65%. I think that Republicans can make gains in both these groups. The young people remembered the Bush Administration, which had many failures. Now they’ll remember the Obama Administration with its high unemployment, high cost of living, and universe-sized deficits.
