"But, at the moment, the numbers support the view of GOP leaders that young people are trending Republican because they like Bush."

6. So is Brittney Spears.
Hopefully, their political IQ will change as they outgrow other childish things.

7. Drudge claims Reagan's brain to be kept alive
and in the Capitol Rotunda in perpetuity; RWers to bow daily. Judge Roy Moore to lead prayers at Monument's installation.

8. felonious thunk claims that Drudge is an asshat
doubtful that this is true. But there are plenty of really dumb young people, so it's possible.

9. Is "trending" actually a word??
I hate it when people use nouns as verbs the way they sometimes do with the word "dialogue". Is "trending" another example of this?

13. And he'll continue to be popular with the young...
until he starts the draft after his re-appointment. Then he'll only be popular with the wealthy young, who will be exempted.

as is conservatism in general. The level of apathy among the young is apalling. The kids of the now conservative middle class have begun turning out more or less conservative (some issues like Gay rights they are surprisingly liberal on)

15. Also, I think that group most supported the Iraq war
so that's probably a big factor. But that's also the most-unreliable voting group as far as turnout, so I wouldn't want to pin my hopes on them if I were the GOP.
