This is my response to Jen Clark's comment about pollsters and their refusal to listen or poll those under 30. I thought it worth a post by itself, let me know what you think:
Jen,
I am not sure if the media does not care about those under 30, or that the under 30 crowd has historically not voted in enough numbers to justify being listened too.
I hope you are correct that a significant number of under 30 voters actually come to the polls through the remainder of the primary season, as well as the actual election in November.
The thing I find most farcical in this whole process is that these talking heads needs something interesting and attention grabbing enough to pontificate enough to keep people watching for 24-36 months before the general election. So they continue to pay for polls and debate the results, determine the front-runner, and take perverse pleasure in lambasting those in the lead and trailing far behind, just long enough for someone else to catapult to the lead, and then give the media ample time to knock them down.
Why is it that no one outside the media can knock them off their g-d damn pedestal? What a bunch of blow-hards, changing position as the wind blows.
