We seem to have wandered very far away from my original point:

Namely, Republicans do not have a “youth” problem.

We have a "race" problem.

2012 - All White Voters - Age 18-29

Romney: 51%
Obama: 44%

2012 - White Women Voters - Age 18-29

Romney: 49%
Obama: 48%

I think 2008 was an historical outlier for 5 reasons:

(1) The MSM created an Obama that did not exist.

(2) White guilt.

(3) The worst recession since 1931.

(4) President Bush - the lowest approval since Hoover.

(5) John McCain - the most demoralizing GOP candidate since Hoover.

Nixon did better than that with the under 30s during the draft and the Vietnam war and with a hateful media, and all the other things people think of during the time.

We have all kinds of problems, youth, race, and Romney driving down turnout.
