Reply #40: Perception is flawed [View All]

[LuminousX]

But remember the topic that has brought this up, young voters waning interest. I am not saying that it is a good thing. I am not supporting people giving up. I am proposing that they felt, like I do, that Dean was the beginning of a revolution, uh, sorry that word seems to set some people off, beginning of a small but significant paradigm shift in how the political process worked. It is exciting and thrilling to be on the cusp of something new.

With Kerry surging ahead, we aren't on the cusp of anything new, so their interest goes back to the things they have control over - their Everquest character, what channel is on the TV, and how they spend their social time.

That is my theory.

Delving into whether or not the Dean campaign inspired groupthink or whether what one set of Dean supporters said can or could be used against another set of Dean supporters is a political thesis in and of itself.
