That's funny. My dad told me when he was in college, he registered to vote that year with a lot of his friends to support McGovern. He told me that he saw so many people registering, he figured there would be a landslide in the election in November. Before he finished the story, I told him something like, "Well, there was, but not in the way you thought there would be." :D As for the youth vote, I wouldn't ignore it completely as I'm apart of it. I've been voting in almost every possible election since I turned 18 in 2002. Of course, I'm an Independant that usually votes Republican, so there ya go. I'm also not "pre-occupied with the latest fashions and where the parties are." Somehow, and I mean no offense, I just don't see a lot of my fellow college students following suit with that last part. “In 1972, the “youth vote” was supposed to sweep McGovern into office.”

I'm glad you put it in perspective. I first saw that chart late last night and had a gloomier reaction. I’m glad you put it in perspective.
