With Super Tuesday coming up we have to wonder who is going to take California? Who is California going to give its votes to (for Tuesday as well for November). Hillary or Obama? Hillary has the edge in the Latino votes as well as the older crowds, but Obama has had a crazy young voter turn out these past elections. Most of his voters were under 25 in Iowa - and they have kept him up. Our country has had a history of youth being apathetic to politics. Are the youth in California going to help Obama win? And if they do, will they continue with the voting in November as well?
In 2000 the voter turn out for those 18-24 was only 36%, in 2004 it went up by 11 points at 47%, will 2008 continue the rise?
