I do think there is something to be said about the large attendance in Obama appearances. I think people are now getting involved with this election that usually don't have any interest in politics. He is demonstrating the ability to draw in voters to support his cause. Voter regitration for this election is up dramatically from 2004. Very similar to the Clinton rock the vote movement that had a tremendous increase in voter turn-out. I think Obama really relates to the younger generation, and we all know that the 18-25 demographic has the ability to control the outcome of every election - that is if they participate. I really think that this year will be the highest voter turn-out in history, and I think that is going to be in favor for Obama.
Read Stratosjoe's post and there you go, i.e. why it is what you say. He relates to the younger generation alright, lol.
