The large size of the Millennial generation, coupled with the fact that most people who identify a party affiliation early tend to stick with that party, suggests that the generation’s influence is here to stay. The Millennium contingent made up 17 percent of the electorate in the 2008 election, and could potentially account for 24 percent of voters by 2012 and 36 percent by 2020, the authors said. “I thought students at the IOP would be fascinated to hear about [Winograd and Hais?...
