It depends on who you talk to in some cases.

But you still have a lot of disenfranchised folks who still feel that the 2000 and 2004 votes didn't matter and now they are of age...or were at that time, why bother when they feel like they are being cheated?

I had a similar conversation with one of my frat brothers back in 04.

He was too young to vote back in 2000 and didn't bother in 2004 because 'he knew that Bush would find a way to cheat'

Althouhg I could understand his frustration I still had to remind him that there is nothing he could be mad about if he at least still didn't exercise his right to vote.

He is definently voting this year.(mostly because everytime he tried to get into a political debate we would remind him of that facr and shut him down...heh!)
