“Obama’s most fervent supporters, often younger, more politically active and in many cases better educated ...”

I don’t buy that Obama supporters are ‘better educated’ .. they may have more schooling, but better educated? I think not.

Well, let's hope the get "schooled" on 11/5.

Typically, college students are hugh Obama supporters. I attribute that to immaturity and a total lack of real world experience that is shared by older Obama supporters, most of whom never ran a business.

Typically, these students are kids living off mom and dad’s largesse (or guilt), never had to earn a living wage, put a roof over their heads, food in their stomachs. It started in the 60s and has only gotten worse with passing generations. Now, there is a sense of entitlement.

When my kids were early 20s, they wanted to go out on their own. Ok, that’s fine by me. I asked if they could afford not ony the rent, but the groceries, phone, internet connection, cable tv, auto maintenance and insurance. Stupid move on my part, they stayed at home!

That's an old liberal canard. Remember that Republicans are mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, Neanderthals.

Ironically, in a recent poll some 60% of the "better educated" Obama supporters couldn't name his running mate or the current Vice President. Let's face it, to the college age crowd Obama has a certain appeal. They already get free education, free housing, free meals and free medical benefits. The fact that it all comes from the hard work and sacrifice of their parents is lost on them

Once they graduate and see the tax bite out of their wages they will "mature."
