Seriously, in 2000 there was very, very little interest in the Democratic Party among college students. The party was ignoring them and their issues and didn't appear to stand for anything in the view of most young people. Campus Green Party chapters were bigger than the College Democrats on every campus I visited. Democrats were so negligent at giving any kind of inspiring message to young people that it took Bush to get them on our side. Thankfully, Obama seems to be breaking that bad habit.
This is part of my problem with the Clintons and their political approach. It may get you through the next election but it destroys the party in the long run.
