glazed over and i would definitely put my money on the ground game. another weapon potentially, jonathan, is the young vote. president obama urged young audience listeners on mtv to get out and vote early. listen to this. i hope every young person who is listening don t believe this idea that your vote does not matter. in 2000, in gore versus bush, 537 votes changed the direction of history. in a profound way. and the same thing could happen here. so there s no excuse. regardless of who you vote for, folks need to get out there and vote. young voters could make a difference, jonathan? yes. talk about the ultimate sporadic voters. they are people who may have voted in the 2008 and that might have been the first time they ever voted for one reason or another and we always talk about
