Large Voter Block In 2010

From Charlie Sykes and the New York Post.
"The unemployment rate for young Americans has exploded to 52.2 percent -- a post-World War II high, according to the Labor Dept. -- meaning millions of Americans are staring at the likelihood that their lifetime earning potential will be diminished and, combined with the predicted slow economic recovery, their transition into productive members of society could be put on hold for an extended period of time.

And worse, without a clear economic recovery plan aimed at creating entry-level jobs, the odds of many of these young adults -- aged 16 to 24, excluding students -- getting a job and moving out of their parents' houses are long. Young workers have been among the hardest hit during the current recession -- in which a total of 9.5 million jobs have been lost. ..."

The door is wide open for a voter block in 2010. What does a politician have to lose, The young voters are unemployed because of what Steve Kagen, Dave Hansen, Tom Nelson, maybe Tom Barret and any other democrat that is in office today. I know it's early but what an opportunity. It would make a GREAT TV or radio spot.
