Mobilize Student Voters Now!
A recent article from USA Today suggests a troubling trend, and a solution.
In short, most likely voters seem to have already made up their mind for the upcoming presidential election. The weekly events don't seem to sway the slight lead that Bush holds over Kerry.
This isn't necessarily bad news. It suggests that whichever party mobilizes the most new voters will win the election. New voter mobilization can be done on college campuses, where plenty of student's are ripe for revitalization. This point has not been lost to Democrats and Republicans alike, as both parties attempt to bring more students into their respective folds.
What are the best ways to do this? One idea is to distribute the book, "Storming the Polls" to college students. Email DavidCyrus with your suggestions, and we can discuss our next moves.
