American population and voters

According to Cencus 2000, there are 280 million Americans.

120 million Americans voted in 2004.

That means 160 million did not vote.

How many of these 160 million are underage children? Or, rather, how many adults did not vote - and is it possible to get their opinions as to why or who they would vote for if they gave enough of a damn?

1. The 160 million would also include other ineligible voters

Landed immigrants, felons?, etc.
