No, you don't have to worry because southern FL is voting for Obama.

This is not a mid-term election, and it's going to be a disaster for the GOP.
Do you think everyone stayed 16 and 17? Do you think those kids that were 16 and 17 had no birthdays between 2008 and November 2010?

Oh, and you're talking about all them kids that cannot find a job right now....that are able to vote....those kids...and those kids that obama/obamas admin that promised that the UE rate would be well below 6%.....

Yea, it's going to be a disaster alright....just not for who you want it to be a disaster for...

So what are you guys trying to pull here?

Is this some strange way for you to convince each other to get out the vote by pretending this is close?
It's not close. You closed the gap a little bit when enough people believed that Romney won the first debate.
Even if we pretend that he did win the first debate, VP Biden and President Obama swept the rest of the debate season.

By November 1st we're going to be talking about President Obama opening up a 15 to 20 point lead nationally, and that's when the national polls DO matter, because you won't be winning any swing states other than MAYBE Florida and North Carolina. At that point you might as well just go fishing on November 6th.
I am not as confident as you. There is still a 29% chance that Romney could win. As realistic as I am about the outcome I am literally shocked at the sheer denial of Republicans on CD. I wonder how long after the election until the anger stage starts and then finally acceptance...Based on the hate that I have seen here from the Right...they will stay in the anger stage for a while.

You don't hear anything about them because you are too busy burying your head in the sand.
Because they were 16 and 17 in 2008 does not mean they did not vote in 2010.......

Since you are having trouble with this, if they were 16 in 2010 this would be the first year they could vote. So yes there will be many young people voting for the first time.
