[Dialogue] {Disarmed} Young people hostility towards GOP

[Colleen Smith]

And who would they vote for?    Many younger voters voted Green in the past election, many voters didn't vote for president because they won't vote for any one who supported Bush's war and gave him such sweeping powers.   Oh, and don't count on women to vote for Senator Clinton because she is a woman.  
  Personally, I'm tired of voting against someone.   Wouldn't it be nice to vote for someone?

  A new study (PDF) finds a devastating collapse of support for the GOP among the next generation. Money quote:
    Young people react with hostility to the Republicans on almost every measure and Republicans and younger voters disagree on almost every major issue of the day. The range of the issue disagreements range from the most prominent issues of the day (Iraq, immigration) to burning social issues (gay marriage, abortion) to fundamental ideological disagreements over the size and scope of government. This leaves both potential Democratic nominees with substantial leads over Rudy Giuliani, but importantly, both Democrats still have room to grow their support among younger voters. The current problems with the Republican brand are not fully reflected in young people’s preferences for President.
