...Obama does have a lot of youth support behind him. He seems young, fresh. But you made insufficient note of Senator Hillary Clinton's youth supporters. While many of our organization's members can't vote, we are dedicated to doing everything we can to help elect her. It seems to be forgotten that Clinton received a big portion of the youth vote in Florida, where the Democrats agreed not to campaign. Let's look at this race evenly. Thomas R.

...Even the young who can't vote care! As my 6-year-old son Michael and I were watching the most recent debate, he said, "Mom, I like the brown man's name. And he has some ideas that I can understand, too. He would be a good President. I would vote for him." The "brown man," Obama, will get my vote - on behalf of my son.
