Voted.

Paul with 7% lead. This will be funny when the Iowa numbers come out showing Paul lost by ~2%. Just my prediction.

Youth is the highest by percentage that will vote in the online poll, however youth is the lowest turnout by percentage at the actual polls. So, you should expect that. That's why vesting heavily in the youth vote usually gets you 2nd place - IE: The democrats 2004 strategy.

Drudge is visted by a huge amount of people. Its a very good population to sample from. I just understand the caucus is rigged.

My point is Ron Paul's vote is HIGHLY weighted towards youth. Youth is statistically the hardest to get turnout from. It is the risk you take vesting in it. So, the Paul campaign should expect their polling is roughly 20-30% over inflated.

Point taken.

Damn your edits.

And yet the youth takes the blame/credit/whatever you want to call it for the 2008 election?

I get what you're saying, but wasn't Obama's election highly weighted towards the youth vote?

I am giving an example of what can happen when you are heavily vested in the youth vote. Remember the democrat's attempt with "Get out the vote" and P Diddy's "Vote or Die" etc.. etc.. BS. They never showed up to the polls.

2008 they were not heavily vested in the youth vote, nor did they need to be.

And look where that got us.

Honestly, I am really afraid the youth of america will show up and screw up this election.

But it can swing the other way quite violently. I think the biggest difference between the youths that Paul attracts and the youths that Obama and the left have tended to attract is that Paul's supporters are far more politically active and savvy than the left's.

At least the "old" views aren't slanted into some socialistic ideology of sharing the wealth.

If I understand history correctly, obsama was voted in by the youth vote. That is, at least, how the media has portrayed it. You, as a student of history, understand that point well. No? Is it not possible that the youth vote swings two successive votes?

That's quite a wide blanket to cast over an entire demographic while completely wiping clean the slate of another.
