Kerry has a mandate with the 30 and under crowd.
He won our votes 55% to 44%.

Can we make him our de facto President?

2. we are the ones who pushed Kerry to victory in swing states he won
Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 03:14 AM by JI7
and made it very close in other places like Ohio. that's how much power we have. imagine what we can do if we just got a few hundred thousand more to get out and vote.

then the talk would be about the power of the younger voters and not about the evangelicals.

6. we could make it democrats, independents, moderates , liberals
all people who identified as being any of those things gave Kerry a majority of the votes.

bush's support came from conservatives, and much of his rise in popular vote is a result of increase in turnout in red states because of the anti gay amendments on the ballots.

7. Do you know the following numbers?
Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 04:17 AM by VivaKerry
1. How many eligible people under 30 are registered to vote?

2. Of the ones who are registered, how many voted?

No offense - because god love you -- but I don't think your demographic flexed any muscle in this election. And that saddens me in the most immense way. I am almost done here on this earth -- my fight is for you (I don't have any kids to leave behind, so what's it to me after I am dead and gone?). But I don't think your demographic showed up for its own interests.... I hope I am wrong. I have not studied the numbers yet.
