The facts are pretty clear. Young people have always underperformed in voting turnout, but it's getting worse. 18-24 year-olds made up 18% of the population in 1972, but 13% of the voters (72% ratio to meeting their place in the population). In 2000, that demographic made up 14% of the population, but only 8% of the voters (57% ratio). If we can't get young people vote at even a representative rate (and shouldn't they do even better than that?? then old people will continue to dominate elections, and a candidate like Dean will never have a chance. And it's probably worse than that as a percentage of registered 18-24 voters. Since the motor-voter laws passed well after 1972, it's easier now for a young person to register than ever before.

This is admitedly a cheap shot, but why am I not surprised that the President of this company, Urban Outfitters, is a big contributor to Rick Santorum and his PAC?
