I think this election is going to possibly change the rate of younger voters because it deals with a lot of modern problems that effect the younger generations. Though it the political laws that affect younger adults are always presidential, the fact that the "vote no" law has raised so much political awareness, it has definitely made the younger generation aware of the political things going on. I think that Obama is just a younger president with a younger family and he naturally just aims his views towards the younger generations. It seems to feel like the generations of children are getting older and older faster. Politics is introduced more often in schools and I feel like the younger generation will get more involved. The fact the political race is so interesting and controversial also interests our generation. At least it interest the political junkies like me! Do you guys think that if Obama wasn't who he was, the age he is or the race he is, that people would even vote as much as they do now?
