Have to agree with your “almost” comment. What does this guy’s analysis consist of? “Ooooooh, the young people like Obama.” “Crap, w’e’ve got candidate McOld.” “We’re doomed. Doomed, I tell you!”
Meanwhile, in the real world, the young people have been going to sweep Democratic presidential candidates into office since forever. They were going to change the world and elect McGovern. They were going to nominate Howard Dean and change American politics. They were going to Rock the Vote thanks to MTV and elect Gore and Kerry. Yawn. Call me when it actually happens.
IIRC, historically that youth vote never, or rarely, actually materializes on election day.
This is just another "talking heads chattering among themselves" piece.
And they stay home in droves...
smoking that bong, playing the XBox/Wii is more important than voting, donchaknow.
