"Voters under the age of 30 constituted the same proportion of all voters as they did in 2000 (about 18%)."

so how does that become progress?

we will see a continuing exercise in snatching fantasy from the jaws of reality, but at least this is better than the craze for "notbush really won, they stole it, again", which totally disregards the difference between winning the popular vote by half a million, and losing it by more than three and a half million...

hope this near hysteria won't go on as long as the endless campaign...

maybe we need osama, again?
