Sharpton goes after the youth vote

Rev. Al Sharpton, one of the candidates for the Democratic nomination for president, says that young voters will be key for the upcoming election. "The key to victory is going to be young voters, African American voters, Latino voters," said Sharpton, in the news article below.

This underscores the point that if a candidate speaks to young voters, they will respond. Sharpton is doing very well with the youth vote, according to the polls. The recent CNN/USAToday/Gallup poll, for example, had him with 12% of the youth vote among the Democratic contenders, not far behind Clark and Dean and way ahead of Kerry, Gephardt, Edwards, and the like.
