Well ProSense, I do believe you are correct about the GOP.
Youth matters, an educated young person is the key to success. Yup the GOP sure does have something to worry about!
Young people between the ages of 18 and 29 made up a bigger share of the electorate on Tuesday than they did in past elections, according to preliminary tallies, with the percentage young voters standing at 19 percent. And President Obama overwhelmingly won that group compared to Mitt Romney.
Though returns are still coming in, several groups that study the youth vote say they are confident Romney's lack of appeal to youth lost him the presidency. According to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, which has studied youth voting habits since 2002, younger voters were especially key for Obama in the battleground states of Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
SNIP:
But young people make up a significant part of the overall vote in Ohio and Florida, which have two of the country's largest college campuses at Ohio State University and the University of Central Florida.
