On The Clinton Point Spread

Barnett Zitron | Posted April 22, 2008 | Off The Bus


Barnett Zitron

Kids Pushing Parents To Back Obama

The New York Times   |  Jan Hoffman   |   April 7, 2008 10:57 PM


As a small chorus of superdelegates has announced a preference for Senator Barack Obama in recent weeks, a theme is emerging: their children made them do it. The list of Democrats who have cited the persuasive power of their own...

From GENder Gap To GENeration Gap?

Michael Hais and Morley Winograd | Posted March 21, 2008 | Politics


Michael Hais and Morley Winograd

While the gender gap in U.S. politics is narrowing, exit poll results in recent primary elections suggest that a generation gap, in which younger and older Americans vote against one another, seems to be emerging, especially among Democrats. Thanks to the strong social tolerance and lack of gender role...

OK, I'm an idiot. In fact, we're all idiots, all 26,917,473 of us U.S. citizens age 18 to 25. We do everything for the wrong reasons...or so we're told.

As an 18-year-old Obama supporter, I am constantly being stereotyped.

Left and right, I am categorized by patronizing remarks from...

The Young Voter Myth

Tina Dupuy | Posted February 19, 2008 | Politics


Tina Dupuy

Maybe it's another Clinton running for president or maybe its American Gladiators being back on television or maybe it was the late night monologue jokes during the writer's strike -- but I'm suffering from some déjà vu. It's all sounding vaguely familiar -- I've seen this -- heard it before....

How Dean Begat Obama

Seth Colter Walls | Posted February 6, 2008 | Politics


Seth Colter Walls Seeing the crowds of young supporters at Barack Obama rallies, commentators have been trying to locate the precise source of the apparently sudden swell of the "youth vote." It's Facebook! It's a greater focus on students by campaign field operatives! Or maybe the relatively young candidate himself is the cause....

Losing My Voter Virginity

Scout Opatut | Posted February 6, 2008 | Politics


Scout Opatut

Just months ago, I stood in line in the Boston Commons, directly across the street from the dorm room I sit in everyday, to get a chance to see a speech by a presidential candidate. I recall the picture almost too clearly -- my mental image of waves upon waves...

Pre-Super Tuesday Dispatches from the Bronx

It took a little convincing for Kenda Nunez, Baltazar Cortez and Geraldine LaPenne to let their lattes cool a minute while they talked politics, but soon they got fired up and realized they had a lot to say.

Obama or Apathy?

Steve Rosenbaum | Posted January 29, 2008 | Politics


Steve Rosenbaum

Guest Post from Max Rosenbaum - High School Senior:
---------------------------------------------

A while back I heard someone say that our generation was the "apathetic" one. Our parents and grandparents were hippies, and we're the counter-reaction to their reactionary instinct. We go a step further than trying to change the...

Barack Obama swept to victory here in South Carolina, giving this once-red state a purple hue.

Dan Treul

Arriving late at 8 p.m. and even then illegally parking, I realized I had made a mistake. Not only were there absolutely no Democrats present at the "Primary Results Watching Party" I had selected, but the event itself was sponsored by the AQ Republicans of Aquinas College. Attendance likewise was...
