Obama - The Youth Vote
There is a lot talk this election season of the youth of the United States getting revved up for the Obama campaign. This is all good and grand but it will not matter if the youth of America fails to show up to the polls. All we have to do is look back to 2004 when the Kerry campaign relied heavily on the anti-Bush youth of America to vote him into office. What happened? The youth failed to show up (or at least failed to increase from the 2000 election) and we all know what happened after that. So, the moral of the story, do not count the youth of America in until November 5 when the results are in. Until then we must be realistic, McCain still has a chance.

PS: Young people 18-29, myself included, go out and vote for Obama on November 4

I never thought of this angle. Let’s hope it doesn’t repeat itself then. Good post.
This is so true, don’t just be supportive and talk about it, proceed with action and actually place the vote that matters the most.
