Economic Report:

What is the biggest concern for 18 to 29 year olds as Pennsylvania goes to the polls today? The economy. Twenty-two percent of those surveyed said the economy was number one on their minds followed by 13 percent who said Iraq. The last time the poll was conducted was in June of 2007 and Iraq topped the poll as the leading issue. Seventy-five percent of the 18-29 year olds surveyed said the state of the economy is bad and only a third feel they have solid job prospects.

1. Edwards totally owned that message.

As a Pa voter whose primary comes late in the game, I will support Obama now, but I sadly wonder- where were the young primary voters on the economy a few months ago?

2. Do they separate the occupation from the economy?

My guess is that they are too smart for dat.
