I think that he has seen that early turnout is not the landslide of young voters there was supposed to be as normal and is now making adjustments.

This is one of the multiple stories the media aren't pursuing. A local libertarian talk host was going on and on about how Obama was going to "kill" McCain in early voting, but in the last few days I've been reading that this doesn't look to be the case. Black are voting for Obama, but they've been voting for the dems by huge percentages for years.

And how many times have we heard about this "wave of young voters" that peters out before it hits?

In 2000 Gore was supposed to have the young voters and in 2004 Kerry was supposed to have them and now Obama in 2008.

History shows that young voters do not turn out in elections in great percentages. You can register them but they don’t show up.
