    "I agree, and would add that I think many of them will give up on politics and not come back for a very long time, if at all."

    I hope that doesn't happen. It's a bit too soon to tell, I think, but I'm trying to monitor what effect this has on the "Obama Youth."

    And those who don't give up - are they doing that for the right reasons? What's happened over the past 7 years will impact their futures - will they understand that? Will they know that there are many things they need to hold their leaders accountable for and will they know how to do it?
