32. but it's mainly young people, so the results have to be put in that context

Hopefully, the youth voting will continue thru election day.....

[SharonRB]

14. Not true

There are lots and lots of adults on Facebook now and it's being used extensively by campaigns and activists.

[loveangelc]

[SharonRB]

31. Not true at all

It started out as a college site, but it's not anymore. I'm 58 and I have an account -- and I am not a pervert! There are lots of people from Firedoglake over there (that's why I joined -- Jane Hamsher suggested it to everyone at FDL). Lots of people from Kos. Our county Dem party is using it extensively.

[SharonRB]

[ananda]

24. Well then..

I guess that shows how far to the
right this country has moved.

Sad.

25. What debate were they watching?

I watched a debate and saw an Establishment DLC Corporate candidate, Hillary, act and look the shrill Corporatist she is.

I saw an inexperienced Obama, trying to coopt Edwards themes.

I saw and heard only one candidate address the scourge which threatens Democracy, "CORPORATISM".

JOHN EDWARDS.

Stephanopoulis, a seasoned pundit saw it too.

[Cha]

29. Everyone has a different take..

as you should know. I like Obama and Edwards but hillary can take a flying fuck at her inevitability.

[creeksneakers2]

23. Obama is a big hit with the kids n/t

[Hippo_Tron]

26. Just so people know, there is a DU Group on Facebook

[balantz]

28. I don't think the young ones with stars in their eyes

saw very clearly that Mr. Edwards actually did better in the debate than Mr. Obama. Of course that's just this old fart's opinion.
