Why young voters don't like Hillary: An analogy from the movie "Juno"
Seen the movie? Well this is how we perceive Hillary and Obama from what I've noticed:

Hillary - A less pretty version of Jennifer Garner's character.
Obama - A black version of Jason Bateman's character.

1. Another possibility - They were children when the Republicans
went after Bill and all they heard was how horrible the Clintons were. These kids have had the tv as their babysitter, they have been conditioned to dislike the Clintons.

2. I don't dislike Hilary, I just prefer Obama.
I'll vote for Hilary if she gets nomination without any hesitation. :shrug:

3. No - my comment wasn't against Hillary..as a matter of fact
I voted for her in the Washington Caucus.

I am just saying that I really think the media has played a big role in villainizing the Clintons and I never agreed with it.

The media hasn't even reached the ferver that they had when they attacked the Clinton, especially with a sitting President that has committed crimes against the nation.

4. Yet another possibility - they were children or adults while Clinton
was president, and paid attention, and therefore know all the good reasons why they don't want a Clinton Republican Lite dynasty.

In 2000, I voted for HR Clinton as a blow against the Republican lies about her.

But in 2008, I reject her because of her record as an enabler of the Bush agenda, and her part in her husband's dubious career.

5. Better still: An analogy from the movie "Hell Comes to Frogtown"
Obama is like Randy Roddy Piper. He doesn't want to have to single handedly fertilize all the surviving human woman, he just wants to make Sandahl Bergman melt that ice queen routine of hers and show he what true love is. Now in our hearts, we all want Hillary to be Commander Toty, the brutal lizard overlord of Frogtown in the post apocalyptic world where water is more valuable than gold... or human life!



But in truth, she's more like Captain Devlin... guiding us all to freedom from the treacherous machinations of Toty and his reptilian minions.

In this analogy, then, obviously, John McCain is that exploding codpiece that Sam Hell wore.

Damn you, John McCain!!!

6. Isn't Jason Bateman's Character the Guy Who Has to Prove How Hip He Is?
It seems Mark and Juno are the kindred spirits, rockers and horror-film fans bound by their love of gore and guitars. They even fall in love, just a little bit— to where, yeah, it's almost creepy. But Mark's more boy than man, a Cobain wannabe in dirty tees—and a poor substitute for Paulie, already more of a man than Mark.

7. Jason Bateman's character was an ass....
I like Obama so I don't consider that a good thing. Actually Jason Bateman's character reminded me of more than a few of my own asshole tendencies which really disturbed me. Especially hearing my wife chuckle at a few of the lines (ie. "That t-shirt looks stupid on you.")

11. Ha Ha Ha
In the movie Juno throws her lot in with Jennifer Garner's character and sees Jason Bateman's one dimensional, superficial, selfish, immature, and shallow character for what it is...

It's sad you missed the whole point of the movie...
