Barack On!!!

- Dude, I'm so voting for Obama.
- But dude, you should've, like, voted last week.
- No way!!! You for real?
- Yeah, bro.
- My bad.

After reading this little excerpt on the Political Wire, I'm wondering if a lot of Obama's support comprises of the youth vote, who as we learned in '04, usually doesn't bother. Of course, all those internet donations can be ruled out as coming from college kids, who don't have the money to buy a burrito combo at Taco Bell.

But it makes sense: a young candidate running on a platform of change as the I'm-not-one-of-them guy. And there's nothing cooler than America finally having a black president. And, he's the kind of guy you'd just want to hang with.
