A lot of people that voted for McGovern in 72’ were enthusiastic Reagan supporters in 80’ and 84’. The 18-24 vote always votes for the pop culture candidate. Then they graduate college, and enter the real world, and vote Republican.
BTW, if the 35-54 crowd voted for McCain in the same numbers they voted for Bush in 04’ Obama would probably not be President today regardless of the youth vote.
If McCain was a conservative, we wouldn't have Obama now.
Why vote for a Democrap(R) when you can get a Democrap(D)?
