The news isn’t about the youth vote, it’s about the fact that 67% of Iowans didn’t vote for her. Working up to her usual 50% disapproval rate would be a major move up for her. Name the category—she lost in all of them, not just the out-of-state college kids.
The only category she won was the 60-something women, according to the election night pundits.
That being said, I got a HUGE kick out of the news I was hearing here in Illinois the next day to the effect that one of the news stations had a quote by Daniel Hynes, who had run in the 2004 primary against Obama for the US Senate.
Hynes went to IA to campaign for Obama in this recent caucus and was quoted as saying that he visited a caucus site shortly before it opened and was surprised to find himself in line with a bunch of Republicans and Independents all enthused about voting for Obama.
That comment about made me fall out of my chair.
Were those voters voting FOR Obama or eagerly crossing over and voting AGAINST Hillary? My guess would be the latter.
