  • Smith: Youth vote considered

    If Obama is president, man, he'll change the weather, and we'll, like, have perfect tubes forever! I'm so stoked! I was going to vote in the primary, you know, but then I forgot I wasn't registered, and then I had to score, but then the polls were closed. Did you see the lastest Warren Miller, man? I was so stoked.

    Youth have yet to rock the vote in any general election. We will see, but it is entirely possible that with slightest shift in the wind, their attention will be elsewhere in November.

    Well, I suppose my mighty sarcasm is in reality quite puny. The whole point of that screed was illustrate that the dude was too spaced to register to vote. Whether or not the youth vote shows up or stays home, that dude piece is tabloid. If I want tabloid, I can stick with the Drudge report, who faithfully executes in that genre.

    And I agree that some people are not going to vote for Hillary because she is a woman. That includes men and women. Some people are not going to vote for Obama because of his skin color. Just like some people are never going to vote for the democratic candidate. I don't think we should let the tail wag the dog. For whatever reason, it looks like the younger folks are politically roused, I think its going to talk more than a little breeze for them to cool off.

    Then: Don't trust anyone over 30

    Now: Don't trust anyone under 60
