19. you're right. . .
College students do vote in low numbers. In a lot of districts, it is damn near impossible for us to a register. I had a hell of a time registering, and I am a full time resident.

A lot of my peers also see nothing to vote for. In 2000 we were left with Gore and Bush. I realize that Gore excites a lot of people on DU, but to folks my age he was more of a disappointment. His wife is toxic on music censorship and Lieberman is. . .well, he's Lieberman.

A lot of folks believe that third parties should at least be allowed into the debates. Instead the Democrats and Republicans lock out any candidate that isn't a D or an R. I Perot received too many votes after being allowed into the debates.

Even now it seems predetermined. Edwards, Mosely Braun, Sharpton, and Kucinich bust their asses on the campaign trail and barely anything is said about them. Clark announces and he is automatically the media and many dem insiders' golden boy. That's odd.
