Unfortunately, I’m beginning to think it won’t matter.
Today’s 20-something generation is overwhelmingly for Obama. I have a staff of 11 people working for me; 9 of them are in their 20s. All are for Obama. None of them are old enough to remember what Reagan brought to the country. What they see, coming of age, is a George Bush that used 9/11 as an excuse to invade Iraq instead of focus on Islamo-Fascism by staying focused on Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda. I’ve talked to a lot in that generation. They’ve never heard of the LP - and are staunchly anti-Bush (and most were anti-Hillary) and see Obama as the only way out. I also coach high schoolers - and hear very much the same.
Our young generation is lost. I’m 45 - and grew up with the Reagan promises. There hasn’t been a man like him since; and its sad for us… He changed my view; and made me a libertarian first, and economic conservative second. I wish there was someone powerful like that now. Like Marc, he shaped my views.
