Obama in 08

[ravenmanifesto]

YEAH!

I was so happy watching the speech I had to hold back tears. And what's more is I feel so justified looking at the research  numbers with the youth demographic that came out to vote and the percentage of that which voted for Obama. I'm glad we could finally give a big middle finger to the stereotype of apathy.

you mean how it was a split of just a couple points in the popular vote?

yeah, the numbers of people voting was a good thing. it's nice to see people involved, but i wonder how much of it was a 'revenge vote' sort of thing?

I have more faith in people than that. And it was by a million votes. That's hardly something to scoff at.

million out of how many cast? sure, nothing to scoff at. but not overwhelming.

For that demographic that has been demoralized for years and been unsuccessfully targeted by all parties for decades it *is* overwhelming.
