Barak Obama asked for the young vote and he is getting it. Young people everywhere see that we have a chance to change this country for the better. This is a dream come true. No more do we have to conform to what those powerful hypocrites in the system say. If youth is identified with hope not yet disappointed, then I say let the hope of a better country and society win.

I feel that we need to write in vote for Mitt Romney in all remaining states in hopes of getting a true conservative. This is to save our future. What a story this would be if we could give Mitt the remaining delegates he needs.

Hey, if last Tuesday was an example of how the young people will turn out to vote, give them an F. There were thousands of them at the Meadowland chanting for change and Hillary won New Jersey big time.They were in Boston with Teddy and Caroline and Hillary won big time. They were in California with Oprah, Caroline, Michelle and Maria and they lost. Lesson learned? They love to go to big events. Remember when "the Boss" campaigned for kerry and they had to block off all the streets in Philly. He lost.

Dear Jack, I'm a 21 year old College of Charleston student and there is a tremendous explosion of young voters at the polls. Why? Look at the candidates. A white woman, a black man, a war hero, and a Baptist minister all walk into a bar...

Young people are tired of the Baby Boomers screwing up our country. It is a vastly different world that most people over 60 are disconnected with. Young people can relate to Barack Obama because young people want to have an optimistic future. Hillary comes off like a know-it-all grandmother trying to threaten you into doing it her way... and let's face it; we never do what our Parents want us to. lol

Jack,
For a great many voters, it'll be the first time in THEIR lifetime that they have a chance to vote for someone other than a Clinton or a Bush.
THAT IN AND OF ITSELF is a great reason to celebrate AND take an avid interest in the election, the process itself and in their future. It makes no nevermind that they also have a chance to see history made by electing a black man or a woman to the highest office in the land, it's a change in direction they want.

You can call them the "Obama Generation". This next generation does not focus on 1 outstanding issue like Civil Rights, the Cold War, the Iraq War, as other generations have done. This Obama Generation is concerned about and has opinions about a multitude of issues. The country is in the crapper and the Obama kids want it back.

Jack, the answer to the question is simple: Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton will not get the same demographic in the general election if she is the Democratic nominee.

I'm a university junior who has spent the last 7 years of my political consciousness itching to vote against the policies the conservative right has used to destroy my country. My party has finally come up with quality delegates who I passionately want to put in the White House. That's why I'm "revved up."
