How to reclaim that lost teen spirit
A Salon interview with Hollywood personality Danny Goldberg includes this astounding fact:
in 1996, Bill Clinton beat Bob Dole by 19 points among voters under 24. In 2000, George W. Bush and Gore were dead even in that age group, a total of about 9 million votes. Restore even half of Clinton's '96 edge with youth, and the result of the election is clearly different, with or without the much-debated Nader factor.I'd say Dean's passion and straight-talk style are perfect to inspire young voters. But what else specifically can Dean do to rally the under-24 crowd?
