Youth didn't show up
As a 22 yr. old who has voted in 2 presidential elections, I apologize for my generation.

1. It's Not You
It's this moronic Puritanical country. There's no logic in electing Bush at all.

2. No need.
I apologize for MY generation (the later boomers). There's no excuse for this election being this close.

7. If my nephew and his friends (20-23 crowd) are any indication,
The election is barely on their radars. For them, there are no consequences to what they do or do not do. They wouldn't take a few minutes away from their PS2's to go register to vote, despite my pleas for months.

They would rather play poker and watch South Park than watch a documentary (Hijacking Catastrophe) detailing what's going down in this country.

That's the difference between today and the late 60's Vietnam era; the youth were revolutionary then, today they are braindead.
