The Year of the Youth Vote

As I read the Times article, I realized how Barack Obama affects the youthful generation more than any other presidential candidate. People under 30 have formed a coalition just for Obama; unlike Hilary Clinton who attracts the older generation, Obama attracts the newer generation. The newer generation is the future generation who will make the economy better (hopefully) in the near future. Obama's speeches are inspirational and makes it so that you want to listen and help. You could say he's a progressive person, he wants the problems that we have now to change. Younger constituents want Obama incumbent. The people who are suffrage; have the right to vote, are doing everything almost they can to help Obama. Same with the people who don't have the right to vote, people act like they don't know what politics are. Which of course is not true. The youth know a lot about politics and they know what they're doing and what they talk about when it comes to: Mitt Romney, Hilary Clinton, Mike Huckabee, Barack Obama, and John McCain. Obama is not a conservative person like Mitt Romney; who wants to preserve existing conditions or to limit change. Barack Obama actually wants to do something and that something appeals more to the youth.

I'm asking you to believe. Not just in my ability to bring change to Washington... I'm asking to believe in yours.
-Barack Obama-
