Dems are always a bazillion points ahead this time of year. BHO should be concerned. He’s revealing more each day what a truly pompous nerf herder he is.

Shuffleboard on into the night!

all day senior’s eat free night

all day…night?

Yeah, yeah, I don’t sweat the details.

Comedy isn’t always pretty.

McCain should buy huge chunks of network time on election day & run movies like Dumb & Dumber & Napoleon Dynamite all day. That will keep the youngsters from voting.

You kid but, y’know that’s pretty good….

On the other hand, Obama can get Bob Evans to have an all day senior’s eat free night and that’ll take out about 1/3 of McCain’s votes.

I tried cuil. The results for “snaggletoothie” were not near as complete as from Google or Dogpile. So I’ll drag my prima donna butt to a search engine that strokes my ego more.

The percentage of adults 18 to 29 who say they’re likely to vote has dropped 20 points since March. But why?

Because Obama has flip-flopped on 21 separate issues, mostly moving to the right, disillusioning his leftist base.

Obama Leads Trails In Statistical Dead Heat With McCain (???)
As I roamed over to MemeOrandum to catch the latest blogosphere “buzz”, at the top of the fold I learn from the first headline, Señor McCain of Arizona Panama now leads Barry Ob…

Oh, how I hope it really goes down this way…

Update: Brian Faughnan points to a piece of data noted last week by Michael Barone that may explain this: The percentage of adults 18 to 29 who say they’re likely to vote has dropped 20 points since March. But why?

Remember the High School Valedictorian?
Remember the BMOC at college?
Remember the guy on TGIF nights that was the first to show up and buy a round and leave just before it was his turn again?
Remember the guys who were all talk on the field, the court, in class or in the pub?
Remember the guys who talked incessantly about themselves?

I’m not surprised his numbers are dropping in this age group. Obama has given them the chance to get to know him.

Senator Hopenchange will have a tough time getting the youngins to the polls in November. Some -awesome- video games come out in Oct and November!

Absolutely! Since the elections of the ’70’s (and yes, I do remember THAT FAR back) we have been bombarded with the ‘youth vote, young vote, college vote’ and what a huge difference they are going to make. And they are indeed terrific campaign supporters. But somehow, come that Tuesday morning in November they seem to always be fast, fast asleep in bed or in class and never seem to make it over to the polls. For decades, and generations, some things just never seem to change. A great movie, a wonderous video game, a long hard drunk….college kids just seem to ever forget their ‘principles’ come Tuesday.

When the Messiah gets consistently behind in the polls, it’s going to get very, very Ugly

It would just break your heart if the socialist Obama lost wouldn’t it?

Apparently, his penitence for supporting McCain in 2000 is to try and make everyone else miserable.

I don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to work.

It would just break your heart if the socialist Obama lost wouldn’t it? You have your heart sit on punishing Republicans for not nominating the magnetic Ron Paul or some other loon who would not have a snow ball’s chance of winning. I bet you would not be smirking about polls if your guy was coming in 30 back, which he would be.

The youths are fairly radical in general, they are young! Obama has not hedged to the center he’s practically leaped. Maybe some youth is disenchanted with the lack of radicalness lately, or the fact that Obama looks like he aged 20 years himself of late and looks like an older dude now lol.

Or like with all younger people & fads, he just burned out for some.. Obama did peak kind of early, maybe there’s something else out like a new Ipod or something occupying their attention. I did notice that that early on the networks had those young people / reporters doing stories on the university excitement etc, but the schools are out! Without group-think maybe the kids could care less?
