that gets them to show up and vote like they did in Iowa. I saw it happen.
Its no wonder students don't invest any time into elections or the Democratic Party when no candidate speaks to their issues. Gore ran on almost nothing but social security and health care for seniors and that's almost all the party has talked about for a decade. It is a chicken and the egg thing, but young people are active. Go to an anti war protest and you'll see them. What we don't have is a Democratic party with a strategy and desire to harness their energy into elections.
