I think it's a function of who is in the White House at the time. As I entered college, Reagan was finishing up his masterpiece administration. The Reagan Revolution was the soundtrack for my (politically) formative years.

A mere six years ago, I was certain that every single person between the ages of 18-22 was a Clintonite, and I was probably close to the truth. They are now the Deaniacs, if you haven't noticed.

Now, we have W in office, with the echoes of 9/11 still reverberating. It stands to reason that many young minds would support the president (and his prevailing views) at this time. Are they neocons? Not yet. Most of them will end up politically apathetic anyway. But it's nice to think that there is a decent base of young people who lean Rightward.
