"18-29 year age group" They're getting blitzed like NEVER in their lives on this election. Kids don't vote unless they think they can piss some people off by doing so. This year I think they're getting that impression. I think the "18-29's" are GOING to vote like never before. The "African American" community is treating this like a redux of 1964. I think you're going to be surprised Cisco...

<< many are predicting a higher than normal percentage of voters in the 18-29 year age group. I am expecting to see this group come in around 14-15% >> This is likely to be a critical factor in the election. As a Bush supporter, I think it's a sad fact that the more young (aka uninformed) voters turn out, the more likely it is that Kerry will win. I don't mean this to sound crass, but it's a fact that the least informed groups tend to vote democrat. The other night on MSNBC they were interviewing college kids and asking why they were voting for Kerry. The answers were stunning: 1. "Tuition is up again, that's why I'm voting for Kerry" 2. "Jobs, Bush doesn't want us to have jobs" 3. "Abortion", I want to have an abortion" 4. "War", Bush wants to blow us up" 5. "9/11", Bush knew about it in advance" These kids can legally vote, but they are not qualified to vote. Many of them know it, and that's why they usually don't. Unfortunately, the Dems have made it a habit to brainwash the kids into thinking that they do know something and push them to vote. The more uniformed and brainwashed voters, the more likely Kerry wins. Dave
