In California, the youth vote went for Hillary Clinton
She won the 18 to 29 year old crowd by 51 to 47.

California young people are usually on the rising tide of any cultural trend. If Obama had a lock on this group, California should have been where it was most evidenced.

Don't buy the hype that it is only Senator Obama who appeals to our youth.

The facts tell otherwise.

3. There is no doubt that Barack inspires our younger citizens
but it is also clear that she has great appeal to that demographic as well.

2. Yep. Very proud of the educated Californian youth.
And my sister helped Hillary win the state, and that age group.

7. That's because of the Asian and Latino vote.
Obama won the white vote across the board.

14. Not surprising
The youth of California aren't as easily fooled as the youth in South Carolina.

I've been to both and California has far better people.

15. California youth are on the cusp of the cultural trend not a cultural movement.
I have said all along that cali people will go for the rhetoric. My sister said that most of her friends thought Obama was Muslim.

16. I'm guessing that is a result of CA's Latino population.

17. I assume that means the bashing of the youth vote for Obama will cease?
One of the memes being thrown at Obama is that he is relying on foolish young people.

I assume, if a significant number of young people are supporting Hillary, her supporters will now conclude that it's okay for someone to be young and politically involved?
