This explains the thousands of empty seats at Ohio State for Obama's reelect kickoff.
Axelrod's strategy of focusing on college loan interest rates is a diversion from the uncertain future of new college grads. Most folks understand you have to have a job to be able to repay a loan at any interest rate.
College kids like Ron Paul. He promises them legal marijuana.
How do you pick a winner out of 2 losers?
Better the little snots stay home and sleep like they normally do. We can see how mucked up things got when they did turn out.
Personally, I’d like to see “the young” who don’t pay taxes stay away from the voting booth. They aren’t old enough to make such an important decision as to who runs America and the government. These days, those who spend time on a college campus should not vote. Most of them are confused and have been brainwashed and indoctrinated by Marxists/communists. They should be required to grow up before they are allowed to vote.
Campers chased by a bear need only outrun the other campers.
Likewise, Romney need not win their votes, he need only get more votes than the Obama.
To wit: I don’t necessarily want these students to vote for Romney, I only want them to not vote for the Obama.
Until Bishop Willard offers more than being merely a Caucasian Obama, he will just attract flies.
Empty seats for an empty suit spouting empty rhetoric. Appropriate.
They're trying to re-create the 60's success they had with kids. Don't think it's going to work.
Hannity shouted down a college-aged anarchist the other day on his show pretty effectively. Back in the day the kid could perhaps have been a cult figure.
Looks like there is an opening for Gary Johnson and the Libertarians. If they aren’t crazy about either Obama or Romney, maybe they’ll go for a party that’s for pot and for abortion.
There is only One power who can affect the future of the world, and I think He is finished with this corrupt and wayward world. But maybe I am wrong. Maybe there enough of us to manifest Him among His beloved people who have strayed too far far from Him. If we pray without ceasing; if we allow His love to issue forth through each of us who love Him; and if miracles still happen in these darkest of days ; if the lost ones will repent and turn from their wicked ways, perhaps then our Glorious God will choose to give us one more chance.
If Romney chooses a veep running mate who is young and appealing to the youths, such as Paul Ryan or Rubio, that might increase his percentages some.
I suspect that a lot of the first time voters from 2008 are going to stay home this time around.
They may still like Obama on a personal and “coolness” level, but they’re not totally stupid. They can look around and see that things are going totally to crap.
Even the wastrels have to realize that there’s not going to be much in the way of good times in the future if we don’t get a President who can find his ass if he uses both hands.
They’ll tell all their friends they plan to vote for him, but on election day they’ll be too busy — mostly planning on ways to score with the heartbroken Lib chicks after Obama concedes.
Thanks for posting. The article does a lot to clarify the ‘08 ‘youth vote’ in my mind.
Frankly, if half the kids stay home, they’ll do almost as much a service to Romney as they would voting for him. And if this is reflected in other demographics (unions, minorities, etc.), at the very least, Obama has a fight on his hand.
If they stay home, he's screwed.
