it looks as though most young voters in america are going to side with senator obama. two students from belmont were interviewed this morning on fox and friends and stated, for the most part, that they identify more with obama than mccain. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine that in the debate last night, john mccain looked like an old man. just look at the way he walked, the shrugging of his shoulders, his raspy voice, etc. all of these factors will convince younger voters that he is not their representative. is that shallow and naive? absolutely. is it reality? you better believe it. young people today do not look at the issues as much as they look at the presentation. what's on the surface most times takes precedence over what is deep in the well. the republican party has to be wondering how mccain ended up being their representative. it all plays into the fact that nearly every break has gone obama's way. if it were a football game, obama would have recovered every fumble and turned it into points on the board. john mccain - your time is ticking away (not in the sense of age....but it could be) and you are about to lose this election. the question is whether or not young people will truly turn out to vote. what matters is will they vote in states like nevada, florida, michigan, pennsylvania, and other swing states. this is where this election will be won.

OK, Bro. Brad, you know me & politics - I have to weigh in! Many young people probably are going to vote for Obama & I believe it will be one of the biggest mistakes of their lives. He's NOT ready & he is so liberal on the most important moral issues of our day. It makes me shudder to think what our country will look like in a couple of years. As far as McCain 'looking old' the other night, I don't think he looks old - he looks like a soldier with the battle scars to prove his love and service to our country. I am literally praying that he wins in November.
I think I forgot to put my name on the comment I just left - sorry!

I appreciate your zeaL and hope for a miracle to take place? For that is what will have to happen on order for McCain to be elected> Just remember that the young people, if they come out, will have to pay the consequences of their actions. The bad thing is that if Bush could have related to more people in the eight years he was in office then McCain would have a better shot. You certainly have noticed that McCain has wanted nothing to do with Bush. There is a reason behind that. If the the Christian conservative wasn't as hard core in their approach, then i believe we could have a had a better opportunity to relate with more of America instead of people running away from our party as far as they can. Our party was very divided on McCain to bein with. I'm sure that you weren't for McCain since day one either. The bottom line is that Bush awoke a sleeping giant and did more to see that McCain, indirectly, didn't get elected than anyone. The economy was bad timing as well. Nevertheless, you have to agree with my point as you have. If the younger people turn out in this election then it won't be even close. McCain did what he could bringing a woman on to the ticket. If Barack Obama had not have been the running against him you would have never heard of sarah palin. However, as much as i like her, she is pretty much nothing more than a female version of Bush. Some of her interviews have been very poor. She has a likability factor, but she should have never done that Katie Couric interview. Praying for a miracle is the only thing that will turn this election around.
