As for the College kids sure they have the right to vote but..
How many college kids have knowledge of how life really works or experience to.. Make informed choices? Given the tremendous stress and cost of college today, the huge burden of now owing 10's of thousands of dollars from the get go and the angst over a pending graduation into a defunct job market to try and cover these bills gives them as much right and information as anybody else.
As a sidenote what pollsters are missing on all sides of this is the cell phone vote. These numbers are typically not available to pollsters and have replaced the typical "land lines" of yesteryear in many of their homes.

Remember that in 2000 and 2004, republicans tried to suppress a lot of the mail in votes. No doubt they will do it again. We have seen them trying to suppress a lot of voters this year, college students foreclosure families, hiring groups partisan to the GOP to count votes While they distract and cry about voter REGISTRATION fraud, Republicans are systematically conducting VOTING fraud by suppressing legitimate voters.

Yep, and keep your eyes open for all of the registration fraud along with the voter fraud from the Dems. Keep your eyes open. I am glad that I decided so long ago to not vote for either of the two parties.

And, if the media (I'll talk about it for once as a monolithic entity that has the same agenda) wants Obama to win, what is the logic behind trying to convince voters this is already in the bag? That will just breed complacence and people just deciding not to show up at the polls. This makes no sense. Then again, you rarely do.

Impressive.

Can they really tally who everyone is voting for, though?
