If young voters turn out, Bush could be in trouble
DALLAS — I think I've figured out a way for John Kerry to win the White House hands down: Limit voting to people under 30.

When polls examine all likely voters, most of them show President Bush maintaining a razor-thin lead over Kerry or the two men locked in a tie. But among younger voters, it's a different story. There, Kerry is beating the daylights out of Bush.

In an ABC News poll of likely voters aged 18 to 29, 57 percent chose Kerry while only 38 percent lined up behind Bush. That's consistent with another recent poll of young voters conducted by a public affairs firm for Newsweek.com and The Associated Press. In that survey, Kerry led Bush 52 percent to 42 percent among likely voters under 30.

What in the name of MTV is going on here?

1. It's the old mantra come back to haunt us ... Never trust anyone over 30.
As true now as it was then. However true it was(is).
