I think people keep forgetting, ironically, 9-11. I work with young people, and you might be surprised how many of them claim to be liberals and Democrats but who see a strong defense as the #1 priority. These people were kids on 9-11 and will be voting for President in '08.

Yeah, they say they'll vote. But past elections aren't encouraging.

I support Ron Paul and we're very very strong with the youth and young adult group. We would be polling much stronger if only the pollsters called cellphones, not just landlines. And I thoroughly believe that. But despite their intensity in supporting Ron Paul online, I really wonder how many are going to show up to vote in the primaries or the caucuses.

That youth vote, like the Year Of The Woman the press always talks about, just never actually happens. Maybe we should reinstitute the draft. Then they'd turn out to vote, I bet (for free college and every other loopy thing you can name). Hmmm...maybe encouraging that youth vote isn't such a hot idea after all...

****”I support Ron Paul....”****

Interesting. One boring day not long ago, I was actually surfing through DU (yep, du). If you do this you must have an extremely thick skin to not reply to the idiot rants of these far left loons. Anyway, not long ago there was a thread which asked the other loons something to the effect of “If we had to have a GOP president who would you perfer?” Guess who won? Yep, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX). It seems that the dummies perfer him over anyone except Hilly, Obama, Breck Girl, & algore. As I said, Interesting....

I understand your point, but the ‘08 election may surprise us re: the youth vote. 9-11 made a lot of liberal-minded college kids conservatives when it comes to national defense.
