Guess I better start being nice to them....

It didn't even occur to me that 1/2 of Gen Y cannot even vote yet since they're under 18. We haven't scratched the surface on their impact in future elections since their generation is gah-normous.

I gotta give the baby boomers credit for one thing. They certainly did some hardcore fucking to produce so many offspring. And this was all done before boner pills hit the market. Nice job, boomers, nice job indeed.

More and more, I think that hating on gays, immigrants, and non-French’s mustard is a killer for Republicans. People under 30 just don’t want to be associated with that, for the most part, even if they agree with some of the Republican economic kookiness. Jon Hunstman is certainly smart to move to a more liberal position on gay marriage. But I think this may go even deeper than that.

In 2004, one Democratic candidate really energized younger voters: Howard Dean. The Democratic made him chair of the DNC. IN 2008, one Republican candidate really energized younger voters: Ron Paul.
