One of the things the commies learned in the Eastbloc was that their policies alienated all young people all the time.
Make the most of it.
Two other huge openings:
NY-20 on March 31st
VA state elections in November
Bonus points:
Get Roland out of the senate and win a special election
They are putting in place programs and policies that will never be overturned, no matter how damaging to all they are. Roosevelt's Social Security and Johnson's Medicare are just a few examples of programs that get embedded quickly and, save for armed revolution, will never be retracted.
While this is true, many of them cannot analyse and come to real conclusions. They are blinded by the rhetoric of the left and slavishly follow the newsies because the youth is so celebrity oriented. Grandma and Rush could not possibly know better than Wolf, Anderson, and the cats on the View.
I wish the GOP could/would pique their interest enough to teach them, but I have no such confidence in the GOP.

Obama has painted himself into a pretty tight corner. He has not only pushed the neo socialist agenda, he has claimed it will ALSO grow and save the economy. Even if people are stupid enough to buy the socialism angle, they also expect an economic recovery, and you can’t have both. So by the time 2010 or 2012 rolls around Obama is going to have to explain it. Blaming Bush won’t go that far.
College are kids and younger are being lashed to millstones of debt that will forever more hang around their necks and restrict their freedoms and enslave them to the government.
This time the Porkulus bill really is, "for the children."
Didn’t Carter win overwhemingly with young voters and 4 years later was abandoned by them? I am hoping history repeats itself as in 1980 and 1994 soon!
BTW, Mark Levin, nationally syndicated radio talk show host, believes that the suburban Yuppies will be the demographic spearheading the coming electoral backlash against the 'Rats. So Levin's thinking is not all that far from Rubin's.
Simply point out to them how Democrats have mortgaged their future. They can pay into SS and get nothing out of it and what's worse, they're not paying enough into it. It will require more.
Medicare is bankrupting them. Now add all this latest spending and if I were a young person, I would be looking for a way out of this mess.
We need to have entire programs just to develop the young people. It ought to be like taking candy from a baby.

Now's the time to dust off the old Tax n' Spend Liberal moniker that was used to such devastating effect for decades, back when the GOP had 'nads.
In fact now they could jazz it up a bit by credibly swapping 'liberal' with 'Marxist'.
We are screwed. Kind of hard not to hate so many people these days.
Like the geriatric stupid party could take advantage of an opening .... even if they noticed one.
I have faith that the Stupid Party can let no opportunity be used.
