pasitheaSomething that hasn't been heavily reported but that really excites me are the demographics of the vote this year.
Nearly 20% of the total voters are under 30. That's massive. That's double what it was 12 years ago. More important, nearly 70% of the youth vote went to Obama.
Freaks, geeks, weirdos, Burners, Goths, Furries, Goons. The Internet beat the Republicans.
The world is changing. It's a shame that Hunter S. Thompson didn't stick around because I've got a feeling that the tide's coming back in and it's going to surge way past that old line in the desert.
