Your college aged and extremely intelligent son can laugh all they want until they go out into the business world and find that there are no jobs or get a low paying job.
I'm in Nebraska--the unemployment rate here is 3.9%. As far as the rest goes, if you're really talented and if you have connections, you can always find a job. If nothing else, he can go to work for my husband. I don't think he's too worried, and neither are we.
Low information voter? I don't think so, and coming from you in particular, that's laughable. He has a full ride academic scholarship, he's been involved in campaigns for family members since he was a little boy, he's interested in majoring in political science himself, possibly moving on to law school after that, and he's been interning on a campaign this fall. He's about as high information as it gets, and he thinks Romney is a complete dunce. I do too. I always have, and I've been pretty vocal about it from the beginning.
Your son sounds like an incredible young man. Some here seem to think that college kids just want hand outs and party and drink. What they fail to realize is that most aren't like that. My son just returned from a year in England studying international relations. He's a registered independent and very much involved in politics. He thinks Romney lacks intelligence and therefore would be controlled by the neocons
Oh baloney. My college aged (and extremely intelligent) son thinks it's really funny. If anything, it's more of a youth vote thing. That's a demographic that Obama needs to really turn out, so it makes perfect sense. Less intelligent and uninformed voters wouldn't get the dunce hat with the map symbolism, so you can throw your theory right out the window.
And you just proved my point..
