What I can see is that more 18 years olds lean Dem, than do repub. By a 60% to 30% margin.

You implied that there are more people registered as Republican than Democratic when they reach a certain age. Well that's not the case.

Who will restore the Democratic Party to where it stood for the working man, patriotism, law and order, common sense, decency, Christianity and American Apple Pie, it once stood for all these things, I was a member of that party then, I didn't leave them, they left me when the Far Left Wing Bastards took over.

Some Republicans fear that whatever the outcome Nov. 4, movement of this generation to Obama could set political views through their lifetimes, reverberating in future elections.

"This is the equivalent of the Reagan brigades, where a whole class of people identify with a politician," says Dan Bartlett, a veteran of the Bush White House, calling it "a real wake-up call" for the GOP. Bartlett, 37, grew up during Reagan's presidency, which begat a generation of young conservatives.

There's a real old saying in politics. If you're not a Democrat when you're in your 20s you don't have a heart. If you're not voting Republican by the time you're in your 30s you don't have a brain. I subscribe to neither party but, I don't think 20 somethings have EVER voted conservative in any numbers. And now with not only their teachers pounding the Republicans bad mantra, they get their news from The Daily Show (the MSM is in the Dem tank anyways), and countless yellow dog Democrat gotcha blogs what would you expect? Unless they actually try VERY hard to find an alternate view point they NEVER hear one.

I don't think JFK would be thrilled with the Democrat party these days. He actually fought communism. And McCain is actually left of a JFK Democrat.
