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 president’s increase in support among Latino voters and seniors – a traditionally pro-Republican bloc of voters – could make up the difference.

I trust that CNN has a good supply of wastebaskets, ala Carville, for all the despondent O worshipers.

I would prefer 12th-story window ledges.

If I were Begala, my biggest concern would be my insanity.

Re “Chuck Todd and Robert Gibbs look like hey are at a funeral.” I hope it is THEIRS, and no mourners.

For the young people who voted for Obama four years ago, I suspect many of them want to move out of their parents basement at some point in the future.
