with a student from Univ of Minn, Mitch Movick..saying they have the internet to get info and are watching how this war is going and which candidate is mostly likely to call for a draft. Says students take the election seriously & turnout will be higher.

1. Well, despite all of Grumpy Rummy's vehement denials...

Dub's clearly going to be the one who brings back the draft...has to get those "patriotic young people" (read: cannon fodder) for his Oil/PNAC wars, you know!:eyes:

There really should not be ANYBODY under 26 years of age who votes for Dub this year...he's taken away the rights of only one age bracket more: seniors. Plus, younger people are the ones who'll need jobs when they graduate, and their chances of that have decreased immeasurably under Dub (then again, seniors may need part-time jobs, too!).:eyes:

B-)

2. For sure..
these kids in college are smart enough to know they have to read the news on the net from other countries due to this media keeping a cover on things, and now they're waking up..Yes, the word, draft, will wake up many people, and it's not going to be "easy" for shrub since we're seeing freepers ready to run and hide, those who were wrapped in the flag.
