As usual the youth vote never materialized as they expected

Because the vote they wanted to "rock" didn't come out to vote --- for Kerry or President Bush.

A very good question...one they won't answer! This non partisan stuff was such an obvious lie, do they think we red state people are too ignorant to know what they are up to? Bah!

Exactly. And to prove the point that they ARE partisan, they spent it primarily in Battleground States -- by their own admission! So, to the people that apparently didn't get SMETO's point, ask yourselves: why would a "non-partisan" group focus on Battleground States in particular if they weren't trying to influence the election toward Kerry? If they were "just trying to get out the youth vote," why focus specifically on closely-contested states? Apparently, Rock the Vote couldn't care less if young people in Texas or New York vote.

Just read the second two paragraphs from the article in succession:

"We squandered record amounts of money," said Dan Adler, board member of Rock the Vote...
