Republicans used to be able to say that they won't steal from the future just to buy the old folks' vote.

Not that conservatives should not address young people, far from it, but consider a couple of things:
"...Young people don't vote, are generally ambivalent about politics...."
and
"Democrats are making a serious effort to reach out to young voters. 'Rock The Vote' is one example...."
If young people don't vote and are generally politically ambivalent, it's not likely that some flashy campaign is going to draw sufficient attention in all the noise that otherwise lures the interests and whims of younger people, generally speaking.
If Rock the Vote is used, would that necessarily lead the younger citizens to the Democrats? What if it's enough to light a fire within a younger person with a conservative or libertarian bent?
