Eyewitness caucus report : INSANE number of younger voters!!
I just came back from my precinct and must admit I was totally blown away by the number of younger (age 25 or less) voters!! Of course, they went overwhelmingly for Obama, who received 267 of the 555 available votes before the first alignment.

If the younger voters turn out ANYWHERE NEAR this level in November, we could be looking at a truly history-making event.

1. In a way, I hope so. Young People will live their lives with this mess that's been created.
At least I had most of my life with only manageable messes from the previous generation(s).

2. And they'll be the ones to pay for their stupid decisions now.

3. It's a good sign
Time to turn things over to the next generation. I am happy to do so.

If they can muster the cold and chaos of the caucus, they will certainly turn out to just pull a lever in the ballot box come November.

:yourock:

I tip my hat to the new generation! :toast:
