The crowd at the GOP convention. OLD OLD OLD and OLDER
Where are all the young voters that the GOP has been telling us that they are reaching out to and converting. I have barely seen any young voters in the crowd, compared to our convention, where there were thousands of young voters in attendance. I wonder what the average age of the crowd is, over 40, over 50. I mean the only young people I have seen are kids who are there with their parents and I don't think they will be voting.

I mean once these conservative baby boomer's die off, who's left.

1. What crowd?
The place looked half empty the last time I tuned in (about 3 hrs before Palin's speech).

3. Well you have a point there.
But still the ones that are in the house look like they are all members of AARP to elect John McCain.

2. Most young people think the repubs are neanderthals.

4. All white, too. And why is MSNBC covering this woman speaking, but
didn't cover Dennis Kucinich's speech?

5. Watching them makes me feel so young and I am a Grandpa myself.

6. I know how the GOP can pack them in ...
"Bingo Thursday ... $10,000 full card grand prize"
