petardierPundits seem to disagree. Some say young voters didn't turn out in large numbers; others say they did.
Voters under 30 turned out in their highest percentage since 1972 according to the Globe article cited by Daily Kos. I'm just giving you the link to Daily Kos because they've got a cool graphic showing the electoral college situation if only the under 30 voters were counted. Follow the link from Kos to the Globe for the details. One interesting thing in the Globe article is that the young voters don't really match the traditional Democratic/Republican continuum.

I think this really is hope for the future. The Democratic party would be well advised to study these young voters and plan for the future.
