20-somethings don’t vote. When will people learn? Of course, they say they will, it’s their duty, etc...but when push comes to the shove of actually showing up, they’d rather sleep in or game or anything else.

Those with some skin in the game (ie pay taxes or mooch off those who pay taxes) are the ones who show up at the polls.

McCain just needs to continue to stand up for the taxpayers against the foolishness originating out of DC and he will win this thing solidly. Everyone knows what Obama represents. The taxpayers can’t afford Obama-Pelosi-Reid running this nation.

Correct. And this grouping below in favor of Obama by 17% should not carry the same weight as older Americans. It's misleading to count them as equals in polls. As you say, these young ones will not show up.

• 18-34: 54 percent Obama, 37 percent McCain, 9 percent undecided.
