The new voter kids are all like getting bored, yunno
It looks like this democracy thingie is all like boring if your candidate like totally bums you out with losses and stuff...

Snip:

"Hopes for a youth voter boom in 2004 are fading with the campaign of former Democratic front-runner Howard Dean. The legions of young voters inspired by his Internet-focused campaign are dropping out of the process rather than switch their allegiance to another candidate, according to Michigan pollsters.

That’s bad news for Dean in Saturday’s Michigan Democratic Caucus, but even worse news for Democrats in general, who would like to reignite that enthusiasm for the fall election."

2. That's not surprising
More and more people in this country have the I'm taking my ball and going home mentality when things don't go exactly how they want it to go.

3. Locking
Rules to start discussion threads in the General Discussion forum.

...

7. Discussion topics that mention any or all of the Democratic presidential primary candidates are not permitted in the General Discussion forum, and instead must be posted in the General Discussion: 2004 Primary forum.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,
