obsessed with youth

another election, another series of articles in the media about youth involvement, usually on the DNC side. college-age types have never tipped an election and they never will. young twenty-somethings aren't an omen nor the thin end of the electoral victory wedge and readers shouldn't let writers imply it.

Ohh man its so true. It also pisses me off how the media assumes that people must vote in blocks and talk about it like the "women's vote" or "African-American vote". Sorry but i dont remember getting an email that told me how all the white upper middle class twentysomething women should vote.
