Election Predictions - who's going to win?
#13
Vote or die is really the worst attempt at getting the youth vote, ever.

I agree with what Gore Vidal has said many times in the past which is basically what Galt said. In essence he said that its not always a good thing to worry about the percentages of who votes and what age group, etc etc as long as its the informed people who vote. 50% of americans admit they do not read the newspaper, 50% of americans vote, we can only hope its the same 50%.

Saying you HAVE to choose or you have no voice at all goes against the entire point of our system and goverment. We have the right to choose or atleast we thought, some people will choose bush, some kerry, some nader, and some will choose neither and not because they are lazy or don't care. I voted in 96 and 00, I simply have CHOSEN not to vote for either candidate because I can not stand by either man. Therefore I do retain my right to complain becuase I chose and its not cause its the "safe" choice because then I can say I never voted, I have voted but not this time.
