True, but while lowering the voting age makes the pool larger, it doesn't increase their general propensity to vote.

After Bruce Springsteen made his appearance with Kerry in front of 80k people, a reporter asked a couple of the girls in the audience about voting Kerry. They looked at each other an broke out into laughter.

A mob scene with music is cool, but I don't see it translating into going down to the poll, standing in line, and getting the vote in the box. Maybe I'm just cynical.
