Excitable Andy Speaks

Listen to him. He's British:

The youth vote doesn't seem to have turned out. Fascinating. We were all suckered on that one.

Ummmm... all of us were suckered by that one?

Idiot, they talk about the "Youth Vote" swinging the election to the dems every fricking four years. It never happens.

Nice going, political genius.

Excitable Andy ain't that excited at the moment:

I'm beginning to think Ohio may go for Bush, as the votes tick by. But I've learned one thing today: don't expect anything. Carville just said that Bush now has the "superior hand" in this election. I think he's right.

Hey, Andy: Chill out. The American people are speaking. Don't get angry just because you don't like what they're saying.

Ace--

Jonah Goldberg has a great post in The Corner on this subject

(http://www.nationalreview.com/thecorner/04_11_02_corner-archive.asp#044781)

"BWAA HA HA HA HA HA HA! [Jonah Goldberg]
Look I don't know what the final tally will be. But it's now clear that the youth vote just didn't show. The liberal blogosphere is grumpy and introspective about it. I love it for reasons I will be writing about for months to come. The cult of the youth voter remains, once again, the most absurd, bogus, childish, romantic and misguided joke of liberal American politics. Period."

Cheers,
Dave

Excitable Andy dreams about being "suckered" by the "youth vote".

Oh sorry, I'm drunk, and that was rude.

Hey, I'm in the mid-20's bracket - and a devout repub/libertarian... lets not talk about the "young vote" not getting out - it's insulting. :P

AND MY ROOMMATE ASKS, WHERE THE FUCK IS O-DUB!!?!? LOL

And I too, am drunk.

There is no youth vote. Youths do exactly what they did when we were youths. They do youthful things. Voting is not one of them.

You gotta listen to Dan Rather contort with his "possibilities". Shiefer is trying to make logic out of their denial.

What...a...shit...bag.

I could've told the media about the youth vote. Generation Y is far, far, far more conservative than their forebears. *Everyone* knows this. Except, apparently, the media. They think young voters are all campus leftists.

The horror!

*downs vast quantities of sangria*

This is the best drunk of my life.

"Do you hear that knocking. That's George W. Bush's re-election...". I can die a happy man hearing Rather say that.

Poor, poor Andrew. Life's a bitch when it's utterly sphincter-centric.

When Mr. Diddy finds out, they're dead.

Whenever Andy "I'm a Conservative, Too; Really, Truly I Am" Sullivan rhapsodizes wistfully over the prospect of tens of millions of young Americans "coming out" every four years: I never, ever make the mistake of assuming he means "... so that they can vote." :)

Kids are and always will be too self-involved to give a crap. Youth will vote when youth works for a living and gets a clue. That is, when they aren't youth anymore.
