Last week we learned that Latinos are leaving Obama. Now comes the news that young people are as well Category:
There have been earlier reports the youth vote has abandoned Nobama.
I wish Morris would just post the text- I dont have the time (or desire) to sit down and watch him
But I would not mind reading it
This is good, very good.
But it is the electoral college that counts.
We must GOTV. If you are in a swing state, please get involved. We cannot have one more day of Obama than we absolutely must
Again, it all depends on who the Republicans run. It’s a long way until November 2012.
I agree. I dread to see the color of his shirt today.
Most young people prefer to have a job.
It makes sense.
I sure hope Dick is right on this!
I have an acquaintence in a VERY liberal bastion of this country. This person is in their late 20’s and has a lot of Gay friends. I was talking to this person about two months ago regarding politics and they said even their gay friends are abandoning him. This person said it was kinda weird how many friends who were huge Obama supporters no are not just neutral. They don’t like him. Period.
Of course, they are the “thinking” liberals that have satisfied their liberal white guilt so now they will vote the man. I don’t think they will vote republican though. I think they will simply not vote.
BTW, tie this into the “segmented” unemployment figures I read on FR yesterday where they said the unemployment rate for americans over 55 was around 6% but for young people it was in the high 20’s. No wonder they’re done with him.
He’ll still get the racist vote, of course, but that will not be enough. The liberal white guilt has finally been eliminated. I think this only had to happen once. It will never be an issue again. That is actually a good thin.
Obama can not possibly win next november. He may even get primaried. A LOT can happen between now and then. And we are going to be in exponentially worse shape by next summer.
What gets me is young people can’t stand to be told what to do, but meanwhile they think Socialism is a good idea. The government telling you what you can do and can’t, I don’t think they know what they are asking for.
I see individuals and countries going through a purification and cleansing process these days. Perhaps Zero’s election is a very big part of it. You may be correct about white guilt having been purged.
I’m still looking for information or actions to surface that will at least get him some primary competition, if not impeached. Problem is, the ‘rats are in between a rock and a hard place with this. Blood bath convention, or blood bath election?
BINGO! All of those who voted fr him last time are out of college now and the hopium has worn off to reality.If thy are lucky they have Mom and Dad supporting them if not then they are home with Mom and Dad who both have lost their jobs and are on the count down to losing everything if that has not already happened.
Don’t be so sure about #6.We are a union household here and I’d guess 50% of households like mine do not vote democrat.
I understand everything you are saying, but that information was all true in 2008 and it was not a landslide. I think a LOT of those people will simply not vote this time. And it won’t take many of them to opt out for him to lose. I know of one absolute yellow dog democrat (anecdotal, but still...) that will NEVER vote republican, but he will also not vote for Obama this time. He’ll vote, but he will NOT pull that lever for Obama. He considers him poison to the country.
And the young generation has wised up to Obama. As have union members, except the raw democratic core. Remember, one of the issues regarding unions is members being forced to pay even though they vote republican. There are actually quite a few of them.
And on top of all this is my strong belief that the economy and culture will be in MUCH worse condition by next summer. As bad as Obama looks now, he looks splendid compared to where he will be next year, barring a miracle from God (or he is the antichrist, in which case all bets are off, but at least we know where in human history we stand)
For me, it is that cut and dried. I don’t expect him to be the democratic nominee next year. Heck, he may not even still be president. I wouldn’t be surprised. With this rank amateur, NOTHING surprises me.
