"Ripe but unreliable" is probably a very accurate and overly kind description of the political strength of potential student voters.

Many of the presidential candidates have actively courted young voters, sending them text messages

"Oh, a text. I hope it's that Esmerelda chick I met at the... Barak Obama? He hopes I'm having a killer day..."

There is a very important group of young voters that can determine the election. Our military.

I have voted in every one of the four elections since I turned eighteen, and I do not intend to stop. And, I am a college student. My younger sister, however, exhibits the apathy that is typical of much of my generation: she did not vote in the last election (and didn't care, too).

Oh, yet another one of these “young liberal voter” articles. Why just in 2004 they were supposed to carry Dean to victory and then John Kerry with the famous P Diddy “Vote or Die” campaingn. And they never showed up. Hell even P Diddy failed to vote.

Prediction: Even if Obama wins in Iowa, the MSM will play it that Clinton did better than expected. It'll help Clinton that her voters are more likely to caucus, because they're more likely to have caucused before. Get Barf bags ready for the media coverage after Iowa. I prefer the 50 gal bags.

My daughter registered to vote when she got her driver’s license recenty at 17. As she put it, I will be old enough to vote against Hillary in the primary as a Dem, and against any Dem in the general election as a conservative.

Sniff, I am so proud.

Don’t worry about the “youth vote.” They’ll be there. They always are. Ask president frenchie and former president algore.
