You know this. What was important to the young voter in 2006 and 2008?
Give up?
Voting for a President that ended the wars and didn't believe in the draft. And. A President that would support higher education.
Guess what?
President Obama achieved all that in his first term.
Hello?
The young voter is in no hurry or is not disgruntled. They are taken care of and have their 'American Path' clear in front of them. They need to feel a stronger commitment to vote every two years to continue their contentment. Sort of a way to say, "Thank you, President Obama."
