Youth Vote Tide Rises

With counties all over the US reporting sharp spikes in voter registration, the youth vote seems to be propelling numbers to a potential record high. Poised to be a defining voice in the future of this country, for the first time in generations, 18-25 year old voters could potentially outnumber baby boomers at the polls. That is, if they use that registration to actually get out and vote. So, who will they vote for? Well, if you are into polls, in the last four months, Kerry seems to be winning young voters over.
