Hope For Change Drives Youth Vote
By Loren Bonner | February 5th, 2008

***Begin Quote***

Between classes and on the way to work, Super Tuesday brought young people out to vote in huge numbers. And among them, supporters of Barack Obama were easiest to find. Voters 18 to 33 were drawn to Obama because they thought he could unite a divided America — and for that matter, the world.

*** and ***

Nationwide polls have shown Obama attracting more of the youth vote so far. But that did not persuade Matt Giordano, 22, a senior at Manhattan College to vote for him. Giordano remained loyal to Clinton because of her health care proposal.

[JR: Hopefully, in Matt's education at MC, he would have picked up a little of economics and philosophy. Who pays for "free" health care? Why am I forced to pay for it? And, btw, I like to thank Matt for paying for my retirement. I just shake my head! ]
