re: #199 ggt
Of the young people I know who voted —voted for Obama because they wanted to part of the cool crowd. I am totally serious. It was all I could do not to wretch when I was around them and listening to their thought -processes.
“Whoa, that hot chick really digs Obama; I bet I could get in her pants if I, like, said I did, too!”
Unfortunately, that sort of vacuousness comes with the territory.
