CNN-Proof that MSM isn't necessarily biased - just stupid
Inside Politics:

If the "young vote" ends up winning the election (for Kerry), we'll have to give the credit to Bruce Springsteen.

===============
Now -- I'm THRILLED that Springsteen is out there -- and I'm THRILLED that he's motivating people to GOTV -- and I'm a fan.

But ... any person who thinks about it for .. uh .. i dunno .. 10 seconds, knows that the credit goes to the Dean/Trippi/Moveon.org push.

3. This is why people cannot get out the youth vote!
The youth vote is not influenced by Bruce...they are influenced by people like Eminem!

5. Springsteen?! Give me a break. I love the Boss too but...
He's not nearly as well known to people under 30 as he is to his older fans. Furthermore, people aren't basing their support for Kerry on his endorsement. It's just hard for media whores to grasp that they are irrelevent to a huge segment of the U.S. population. All the time they've spent spinning RW talking points and yet lots of people aren't biting. Oh well...must be Springsteen. Yeah right.

7. How about: "We'll have to give the credit to George W. Bush."
Bush's entire Presidency is just one big neverending fucking sinkhole for the "youth" of America. No jobs, no overtime pay, no education, no health care, no social security, long term debt, foul air, dirty water, and a never-ended string of foreign wars that will need fresh soldiers on a regular basis. Yeah, why ever would the youth of America want to dump this asshole?

8. ooh

I still think that Trippi/Dean/Moveon deserve a LOT of credit.
