This is a generation that I am on the cusp of but identify with. (I was born in 1980 and was a very late bloomer). They came through big time in 2008 and 2012, but were absent in 2009 (NJ and VA had governor's races in which the GOP swept), 2010 (need I say more), and 2011 (NJ and VA had their entire statehouse on the ballot).

THey need to vote in the same pattern that their grandparents do.
