Passionate about causes but can't seem to follow through on election day...do they get complacent?

And youth turnout will likely soar in the general.

It will be the first time ever. Maybe our young have finally realized that if they get off their tails, they can have the swing vote and control our country.

with no land lines, college students don't show up in polls....

I think Obama is going to take PA. :hi:

But who am I ? ;)

And you're quite possibly CORRECT, that's who! :D Even in a losing situation, if Obama exceeds expectations to this extent, Hillary would do best to throw in the towel. There's no way she could make it up in the remaining primaries, and remaining super-delegates are not likely to be swayed in her direction by an Obama win or even a narrow loss.

:kick:

How are they smart enough to back Obama and dumb enough to back Gramps at the same time?

Except for the 29%! Who are they?

and 29% of the 42% against Hillary. Probably people friends with the 10 College Republicans on campus.
