Well, luckily, as this country slips deeper and deeper into trouble, the safety net that the older generation depends upon will give way and the younger generation will be able to take the reigns.

“@Mitch_Fox: @CNN says @MittRomney has 54% of #nvcaucus vote followed by @ronpaul 19% and @newtgingrich 18%”

that's as of now

Think the time slot was bad for younger voters.

According to CNN, youth vote was 4% of the vote. Older voters were 35% and 39% I saw.

Im confused, is this America or Isreal? Don't we tell everyone who comes here that they have to acclemate to our culture, our laws, our traditions? So now every religion gets to have their own separate rules? Can't wait for the Scientologists to get wind of this. Maybe I will start my own religion since they can't discriminate aginst me that says my religions votes can be cast anytime they want. Either church and state are separate or they are not.

In all seriousness, if the Republican party of Nevada chooses to change its rules to be more inclusive.... is it really a bad thing?

They are taking the reigns now. Just wait till you see what they show up at the convention.

I could see if it was a weekday. But on a weekend?

Thats a slippery slope. Who gets to determine what more inclusive means, who gets to determine who is deserving of benefiting from this inclusion and who does not.

I mean I would instantly argue that all collages should have polling sites on campus since it would be more inclusive to those who have transportation difficulties etc.

CNN said young voter turnout (under 30) was very very low.

Biggest group to turn out in NV was 65+.

Young folks can't really bitch about being saddled with huge, HUGE debt ... because they aren't bothering to vote.

Ron Paul just left a voice mail on my phone.

50% of the Independent vote is an AWESOME talking point coming out of NV though. The campaign will be able to play that number up big time

especially a Saturday or Sunday morning. Not all young people who support Paul is hardcore.

Michael Steele just said battle for #2 in #nvcaucus between Santorum/Gingrich will be interesting...uh...Santorum will b 4th. cc @maddow

Thats a slippery slope. Who gets to determine what more inclusive means, who gets to determine who is deserving of benefiting from this inclusion and who does not.

In this case? The Republican Party of Nevada gets to decide.

It's their decision to make. If they feel that appeasing a billionaire by holding a special session that offers more folks a chance to vote -possibly without impacting delegate selection- is a good choice, they're well within their right to make that choice.

Yea...really ashame that is. Showing up to the events does no good at all if you arent going to bother voting. I really don't see the logic in that, gives everyone false hope, and then those same ones who have the audacity to moan about politics and government have only themselves to point the finger at.
