maybe this is why the campaign is all about vietnam

This analysis of polling numbers is a must-read. Among the most striking points: "Younger voters 18 to 29, who have a weak track record of turning out to vote, favor Bush 56%- 44%"

A twelve-point lead among young voters!

Bush also leads among voters who are 30-49 years old, and among voters 65 and older.

So which demographic group supports Kerry? 50-64. The baby boomers are keeping Kerry alive.

I've often wondered how good the legalization of pot would be as a wedge issue for younger voters.

Is it bad that I'm totally shocked by this ("Younger voters 18 to 29, who have a weak track record of turning out to vote, favor Bush 56%- 44%")?

I guess that I'm a true a Northeast boy -- I know now that I'm way too myopic. Who are these Bush-favoring kids, and why haven't I met them?
