"But there was no massive turnout among young voters. According to the exit polls, 18% of the voters this time were under 30, as compared to 17% of voters in 2004. (By comparison, 22% of voting-age Americans are under 30.)"

As James Carville once said, show me a candidate who depends on the youth vote and I'll show you a loser.
