Election Day: Drive of a New Generation
Posted November 04, 2008 at 1:28 PM

In 2004, we saw the first increase for the first time in 30 years from Young Voters. 30 Years. And then, in the 2006 Midterm elections, young people showed up and swung tight races in Montana, Missouri and Virginia.

Now, with a campaign that has gone on for over 18 months, the day is here. 2008 is a historic Election, not only because of the candidates who made history, but because of the drive of a new generation and introduction into the American political process.
