The college kids came out in record numbers. Evidence of this is in Franklin Cty., Ohio, where Columbus is situated. This is also the county that houses Ohio State. The reason so many of these key counties (including Summit County as well) went to Obama can be attributed directly to this.
I'll tell you, if I had a college kid who backed Obama I would sit him/her down and have a little talk about getting job to help pay their tuition since the money I had put away was going to have to go to pay taxes. Seriously, I would.
