Obama won the public vote by over 5 million? So McCain was nowhere near close?

I'm glad he won, he's a great rolemodel and amazing person to read/hear about.

2. Actually, the lines here were not even close to 3 hours long. 30 minutes, at the most. And most young people voted just because they could. I have plenty of friends who voted for that reason without having stable reasons to back them up. I even talked to someone today who said she would have voted for Obama, even though she doesn't know anything about what he stands for. Thats how most young americans who voted will tell you, because most of them are ignorant, uneducated idiots. For american teenagers, voting for obama was basically conformity. It was the "cool thing to do". I'm not kidding. I'm around it every single day, and it's disgusting.

you're supposed to vote. there's a get-out-the-vote campaign because its a proven fact that the youngest generation is the generation that votes least. all of a sudden, after decades of campaigning to get out the vote and this being the biggest turnout for young people probably ever, you're going to say "they're just voting because they could"? it's been said for YEARS that if you can vote, you should vote.

i dont know where the hell you live, but when i was in high school last year, the majority of people in my grade were at least relatively politically conscious. and even if that were true, its not like young people are the only idiots - there are full grown adults in this country who won't accept the fact that barrack obama is not a muslim.

I don't see a point in voting if you don't understand the issues. Which brings me back to saying that young people only voted because they only understood that Obama was black and he wasn't against gay marriage and abortion. Not all teenagers, per say. But a vast majority of them. For sure. Pretending to care about politics is not enough.

you cant make statement like that with no real proof. maybe your specific school is just full of idiots. its invalid to make a generalization as large as that with an extremely small amount of people. and like i said before, there are no more kids who pretend to be knowledgeable as there are adults who pretend to be knowledgeable.
