What? Didn't they say that after 2000? And what happened in 2004? It was even worse. Lame electorates (read: democratic voters) tend to stay lame. If a democrat is going to win a swing state, it will be from independents and weakly republican voters changing sides.

In 2004, it was story after story about how energized the under-21 voters were, how they were going to set records for voter turnout and be a force in the election. Well, they set records all right. They stayed away from the polls in droves and there is nothing to suggest they won't do the same this year.
