Without any proding from me he has become a big Obama supporter including going to an Obama rally and putting an Obama bumper sticker on his car.

A year ago I would have bet 20 bucks he would vote only after I tied him up and drug him to the polls.

Nothing makes me more hopefull for our future than seeing young adults involved in elections.

3. As a mom of 20-somethings
I always made them vote, and they always had to be forced.

Now my daughter is an Obama-maniac, and I have never seen such political excitement among my college students before.

5. Whether it's Hillary or Barack I am exstatic that the young are involved.
I hope it stays that way.
