9. It's an interesting point...even though folks would want to think questioning
Edited on Wed Feb-13-08 09:41 AM by KoKo01
whether there are cross-over voters who have an "agenda" is heresy when we know that Obama has so energized the youth vote that they are coming out in overwhelming numbers seeing him as their only hope for the future.

Have we all forgotten the RW Evangelical youth that the Repugs have so carefully courted all these years? The Regent Graduates who fill the Bush Administration with their doctrinaire views? The mobilization that the RW was able to do in getting them to vote for whichever candidate their pastor wanted them to?

It's hard to believe that those folks couldn't be swayed to vote for someone who has a wonderful evangelical speech delivery. But, if Caroline Kennedy's kids are inspired by him...how do we know that others aren't also?

I would like to see the breakdown of the figures, also. Because knowing how many long time Democrats who vote in every election break out compared to the newly registered Dems and Indies would be very interesting to gauge whether there's a movement in place or a phenomenon that will pass.
