We have worked very hard to support all of the Democratic candidates in Weld county and while some of the candidates might win outright in Weld, it is more likely that we will pick up enough swing votes to make the difference state wide. <br><br>Just an observation as a parent with two college age voters: Young voters are very tuned into the internet and national candidates are utilizing this venue much more than in past elections. Older voters have a different relationship with the internet. They still rely on newspapers, magazines, TV, and Radio for commentaries on the candidates, but the world of the internet brings video clips and personal messages right to the voter. I think the outcome of this election is going to be heavily influenced by the internet and impact it has on young voters. They are pretty much turned off by the negative ads on TV if they watch them at all. The world of politics and the way campaigns are run is changing due to the influence and capabilities of the internet.PatTue, 07 Oct 2008 12:57:43 -0000
