#1 For the most part, young people today are very savy.

#2 My younger boy says all his friends are seeing through Barack's smoke and mirrors. They voted for Ron Paul, and will hold their noses for Mitt because no amount of nose-holding is blocking the stink of 4 more years of Obama.

Of course, they all are getting engineering degrees, so that may have something to do with it...

#3 Ptah
Those degrees require MATH! skills.
You can see why state education is a failure, not only is the state the worst provider, it's also got the most to gain from being bad.

#4 I dunno, Ptah...for every young'un majoring in a STEM discipline and cultivating libertarian sensibilities, there are probably ten Ogabe cultists piling up loan debt for a degree in useless nonsense like this.

#5 The choice of Paul Ryan was inspired -- informed young people are disgusted w/the notion that they are going to be indentured servants to SS and Medicare for which they will never benefit.

That combined with the scales falling from their eyes on what hope and change really looks like: living in mom's basement, huge college debt and no jobs.

Obozo and Slow Joe are toast.

#6 Math!

Heresy! Treason! Denounce your occult knowledge and say with me, 2+2=5.

(Abu, I was watching a game show and the constestant was getting a degree in, if I remember it right, Neo-Retro Sociology Studies - I think it has to do with every once in a while a new fad occurs based mostly on a previous fad)

#7 The problem with a prestigious Bitter Womens Studies program from a prestigious Ivy League institution is that the ciriculum is not designed to "find the cure" for Bitter Women, but rather to create more of them.
Double major in Angry Womens Studies doesn't help the resume either.

#8 I've leaned Republican my whole life but back in the days after College when I faced a grim jobs market I voted for Clinton and that recession was mild by comparison. I suspect a similar calculation is going on in a number of college graduates working in joe-jobs right now.

#9 I also suspect some kind of Student Loan relief/legalize pot type thing will be floated to buy back their votes right before the election.
