Bush campaign targets young voters on web

An article from the University of Wisconsin's Badger Herald talks about how the Bush/Cheney campaign has made young voters a priority, including designing a website specially to reach out to this group.

The article includes a quote from the Bush/Cheney campaign director: “Young voters will play a key role in the November elections,” Mehlman said. “We want to make sure that they are an integral part of our grassroots organization at a national level.”

That's smart politics. And it proves that young voters really are going to be a battleground this year. Both Democrats and Republicans believe they can win young voters. And of course Nader does, too. So we'll have a real debate, and that should help increase turnout on Election Day.
