THANK YOU to the young folks!

This entire election has been born on a tide of young people getting passionate and serious about the threat to our democracy posed by the War Prezadent.

This is a huge shout out to all of you 18-29ers. WIn or lose, you will not be taken for granted again in this generation.

A toast!

I've worked my ass off this campaign, even though I can't vote.

Although I am proud of all my peers. :)

4. Absolutely
I would also like to nominate Michael Moore as a super-hero (no spandex suit please) of this campaign. I've heard nothing but great things about his "Slacker Uprising Tour". A friend of mine took her 9 year old and she said it was all very exciting and positive. It really got people PUMPED UP!

7. Second-time, 19-year old voter here
though, obviously this is my first Presidential election.

I voted for John Kerry in the MO primary and I will do it again, without the slightest hesitation.

I'm so stoked I may go out and buy some popular music--Eminem comes to mind (that was a "keeper"). I want to keep something to remind me always of this moment in history when EVERYONE came together in their own way.........

Geez, I've got chills now. Lovin' you youngins like never before. Hat's off to you. :loveya:
