Please don't take this the wrong way, but part of Obama's strategy is to pull the young vote. He's relying on the fact that young people are passionate, want change and have not had the misfortune of witnessing many presidential elections. ask older folk and they might give you a more wry view of the process and remember poor candidates of times past. I write to you with all due respect.

You make it sound like going for young new voters is a subversive strategy.
McCain is trying to do the same, but isn't having the same sucess. Why is that?
