With just hours to go before the first polls close, CNN political analyst Paul Begala expressed some concern that young people would not turn out in support of President Barack Obama in the numbers they did in 2008.
Anderson Cooper asked Begala what he made of the apparent drop in enthusiasm among young voters for President Obama. Begala replied that he thought, as an Obama supporter, the lack of enthusiasm among young people was his single biggest concern.
Begala did say, however, that the presidents increase in support among Latino voters and seniors a traditionally pro-Republican bloc of voters could make up the difference.

No Paul, your biggest concern is avoiding hell.
Obama was more like a rock star. They disappear quickly. It ain’t easy to keep up the gig.
Was the question of why so many younger votes aren’t supporting the Commie left unanswered?

Really Paul....looked at Florida lately?? You might also consider the drop in Jewish voters to be a bit of concern.
It bodes well that he’s already “concerned” ... before 4pm CT. Heh.
If this goes well for Romney, somebody’s gonna have to put Nate Silver and the entirety of DU on suicide watch.

The fact that the subject is “concerns” I think tell us a lot. If things were going well for Obama today, Begala would not be talking about “his biggest concern”.
That’s why I am stunned Obama did not float a student loan forgiveness proposal. That was the only thing that was going to motivate the kiddies to turn out en-masse again, IMHO.
Obama was the Millli Vanilli President. Just mouthing the words that came up on the teleprompter.
We are witnessing the nation go through Hopium withdrawal with the associated shivers, puking, diarrhea, and convulsions. The antidote is allowing the adults to take over and administer common sense elixir.
I was fully expecting that to be this year's October Surprise. Instead we only got the October Suppress of the facts of the Benghazi attack.
If the Forehead is worried, I am smiling.
Sustained unemployment and having to move back with your parents can have that effect on you.
Is there a demographic group that is MORE excited to vote for the President’s re-election than 4 years ago? Gays? Muslims?
More like the Jim Jones of politics. People drank the koolaid in 2008. They didn’t die, but they ended up not liking it.
This rock star couldn’t draw a crowd if he had a rock star standing next to him.
” Obama was the Millli Vanilli President. Just mouthing the words that came up on the teleprompter. “
Well put.
Young people got shafted big time by Obmama. Hopefully many are smarter this time.
The cracks begin to show in the Dem facade that O is sailing to victory.
