My first thought was, "Is this kid old enough to vote?" My second thought was, "So this is where that Bong hits for Jesus guy ended up, helping the Obama campaign." It was a spectacularly beautiful day yesterday. The Global warming arrived right on schedule. Someone must have duct taped Al Gore's mouth shut) Fred didn't do well in this state, but he never planned to. The campaign put almost nothing in here. We'll know how it goes after Super Tuesday I think. Of course, there's always the Kucinich/Paul third party campaign. ;) Yesterday, as I was getting ready to head out and vote, I noticed some kid walking up to my front door wearing an Obama t-shirt.

And Thompson never expected to do well in NH, so didn't campaign there. Paul did campaign there.

This may explain the large herd chasing Sean Hannity down the street. As far as the young voters not turning out, yes older voters have higher turnout rates by percentage, but by those numbers anyone not carrying an AARP card would be considered the youth vote.

That means they would have to have legal residence there. While I can see college students attending rallies (good way to get out of class), I believe that few of them would actually be voting in the town. Apparently, the analysts at Fox know something I don't. If New Hampshire is like the rest of the country, those students would have to be registered to vote in that particular town.

EVER THINK that the drug companies have done the best work in the world in providing hundreds of drugs, vaccines, etc., that save LIVES? Government is the answer. Idiot. I really can't stand this woman. Hillary, shrilling about Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Healthcare, etc…etc..etc…the same old, same old diatribe.

They are scared of having to fight for anything that they would sale the nations soul to stop it, so they can stay home, spout off how better they are and play the playstation. Some may think they are cowards or liberal intelectuals, but thats why I would not count them out. In a fox hole they say to worry about a hero. No, I worry about the people that would sell their own mothers to save ones skin. I would not count them out at all. @9 I say don’t count them out as you have so many youths that are pissing their pants about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and relations elsewhere.

Pfft! The media has gone on and on about the youth vote for years but the youth never turns out in the huge numbers it keeps predicting. Hillary carried every traditional and actively voting Democratic subgroup, except for the union vote (split with John Edwards). The Hildebeast is like Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees...just as you think you've killed him, he suddenly grabs your ankle! I knew it wasn't over after Iowa. Never underestimate the Clintons.

Nevermind short of greed, the need to save one's cowardly ass, and lack of responsibility they know next to nothing on responsibilty, history and the importance of war at times in national survivle. I said it once I will again,. America in 08 no matter who wins you loose. Ron Pual hasn't a snow balls chance in hell, and even if he wins some how he can't just go Hey now lets do this and this etc. He would be like Grant and at odds with his congress and nothing will be done. Obama, why don't people just say it, hes nothing more than a Black Jimmy Carter, smiles and hugs all around. Actully I haven't seen one person running yet that would not make me build a fallout shelter if elected..
