The youth vote delusion

Prediction from HillBuzz, a P.U.M.A. still angry enough at Barry to vote for Mac:

"…young voters are the Holy Grail of election delusions, because every Democrat, every election, claims ‘young people love me and will come out in record numbers to vote for me!’ Well, let us just tell you that early voting ended today [Oct. 31] in Chicago. In our building, there is a suite full of about 6 frat boys who sometimes stop us in the laundry room to talk politics. They are all hot DePaul hockey players, so we are glad to chat them up any time they want. All of them said they were going to vote for Obama, and all of them forgot to early vote. All of them have class and work on Tuesday. We honestly believe all 6 of these guys are going to forget to vote on Election Day — and the polling station for our neighborhood is literally one street away. We think this will happen not just with the hot hockey players in our building, but in many other buildings in Chicago, and in cities across the US."

Heh. Good luck with the youth vote, Barry.

P.S. from HillBuzz: "Don’t be Eeyores on Tuesday! Get those Eeyore butts off your couches, away from toxic TV, and GO VOTE."

P.P.S. from me: Despite living in a neighborhood near abundant apartments filled with college students, I saw not a single one this morning when I went to vote. Just us old folks and no lines at all. I did stand out for not having on sandals and tie-dye, but ’twas nary a youth in sight. Heh.

Mac’s coming victory

If you watch/read Big Media and pay attention to the polls they commission, you have to be anticipating Barry’s landslide of a victory. Heck, he’s already drafted his inaugural speech.

But if you realize that Big Media is not throwing straight dice, and the polls they commission are heavily weighted to favor Democrat for-Barry responses over Republican for-Mac and/or Independent still-Undecided ones, then you’ll be more skeptical. Especially when you consider the millions of P.U.M.A. voters who don’t fit Big Media’s narrative and therefore are being ignored, you will come around to the idea that Mac and Sarah not only have a very good chance to win, but they could win really big.
