However the percentage young voters that voted Democratic was way up. They also turned out and helped elect Ronald Reagan in 1980 when he inspired a new generation of voters. We'll have to see how it all works out in history. The good thing is that all this stuff gives us political junkies lots of good stuff to debate and talk about.

We might have to wait a coupla days to see the media-massaged demographics, but I would guess a huge youth turnout did most of the talking this election. We talked about this before ... once they learn a little bit about economics, they will see voting as a sort of credit card. Might be wiser to charge only what you can afford to pay. This looks more and more like Carter-era stuff every day. Only we "made history" this time ... which apparently trumps "learning" from it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
