Obama winning over young voters.
No surprise here. It's just the overwhelming numbers.

It was on the front page of Wednesday's Daily Cardinal. However, I don't have the issue here in front of me and their website doesn't have a link to the article.

The UW-Madison area has three polling places and the results were listed. In a nutshell, Obama outpolled McClain to something to the order of 15:1. This is incredible. If the Republicans don't wake up to this, we're going to have a joyous November.

1. I have to say that it's very nice to see young voters so involved
It sucks being the youngest member of your county party when you're not particularly young.

2. Maybe this time out, we can pull together a real party again.
'Course we'd have to put up with all those bratty adolecent 40-year-olds at the meetings...
