The Youth Vote

MSNBC has an interesting article on a mostly untapped voting block - 18-25 year old's.

New York University senior William Boyle has strong views on what is best for this country. Education funding and the environment sit atop his list. Although he seems a prime recruit for the nation’s political parties, like many voters his age, Boyle says he is not active in politics and that few organizations have made an effort to reach out to him. However, this fall, that is set to change.

According to the article they make up 23% of the electorate and 59% say they will vote in the next election but only 45% are registered to vote. Provided they follow through, they could seal the deal for someone close to the edge. Unsurprisingly, Dean appears to have this market cornered for the moment and appears to be the only one actively targeting it.
