...disaffected young people, young people who have never voted before— and I’ll be damned if I am going to come up with some cutesy name for them "like Sons and Daughters of Nascar Dad and Soccer Moms." Just shoot me!"

What is remarkable about this election cycle is how for the first time in decades the younger generation of Americans is the most active and energized. How they communicate with each other, how they register, turn out and vote may well decide everything in November.
When it comes to reaching these and other non-party aligned disaffected voters… well, let's just say the power center in this election isn’t where most pundits think it is. It's shifting to some unlikely places: Howard Stern, Votervirgin.com and like minded websites. (

The keys to this election may well be in the hands of Howard Stern’s loyal fans, virgin voters and the blogger brigades. Think I’m kidding? Check back with me after election day and we’ll see who’s laughing then.
