who will really decide this election.


those who've never voted before (whether they are in college or not) those who haven't voted in 20 years, etc.

2. College students are strange (I'm one of them)
They're part of the whole John Stewart-wild card voting block. I see a lot of support for Kerry on campus, but I do not know if any of the "quiet" voters will be for Bush. By the way there is NO political group that is more annoying than college republicans.

3. Have to agree with you
Sons of privilege who have never had a real job going on about tax cuts is very annoying. I don't advocate violence, but if anyone deserves to get their asses kicked, it's this group.

6. The college vote could matter
It is difficult to predict if the college vote will actually materialize. There is a great potential for this vote to help Kerry Edwards.

My son is a freshman and will definitely be voting.

13. My support of the NL
in the World Series. Was rooting for the Astros. I guess I'm ABB - anyone but Boston!

I normally have an Illinois logo, since I live in Chicago. Boring, I know.

14. the Harvard
poll predicts massive turnout amoung young votes, with those votes supporting Kerry by 13 points. This could be a difference maker in many swing states. Ohio State University, University of Wisconsin, Penn State, all the Universities in Florida and many more.
