Obama doesn't only appeal young candidates. He's also very appealing to older candidates who are longing for a true leader, of the FDR or JFK mold.

He has a unique talent for talking about progressive ideas in ways that don't make them seem too liberal or radical, even to a lot of republicans.

With that said, I hope Obama hits the 18-25 year-old demographic hard, as that age group is the most underrepresented at the polls. If he can get them interested, we could pick up not just the WH, but more than a few congressional seats in 2008. ;-)
