Heh! Excellent point. I pretty much agree with this assessment of the 18-25yo demographic, under normal circumstances. They usually are self serving and don't turn out.
But this is a very unique election, don't you think? You have one party who has a nominee that totally inspires the faithful, and I think that inspiration not only will translate to the youth vote this time, more than ever before, but I think it will ESPECIALLY inspire the young, as they are more succeptible to inspiration and soaring rhetoric than any other group of people. They haven't become cynical yet. They actually believe everything he says.
The other party has McCain and he has not inspired any of them. Only the passionately pro life kids who would always vote (Republican) anyway no matter what.
