So the DNC wants a nominee?

So, now we are I guess in the home stretch of the debates' cycle. The democrats should decide soon who is going to take on the mighty 'bush'. Anyone who is up on the news knows that the democrats get another chance tonight (Nov. 4, 2003) to show off to their young voters. I think all candidates need to address this demographic a little more. Especially the college students. These college students are going to be graduating soon and their lives can change by the policies that the next administration is going to enact. The reason why college students don't turn out to the polls is because they are a neglected lot and they don't feel that they can make things any better by voting. I mean as far as the Presidential candidates are concerned they don't even consider these young voters to be an important demographic, until NOW!. Now everyone wants votes and democrats will not win this race if they ignore this population.

Finally they are making some sense and concentrating on attracting younger voters. If you build loyalty among these guys now they will serve you for a long time. That should be reason enough to go to them. Anyway, I hope they do a good job tonight on the CNN.

However, in all honesty I don't expect the democrats to even give a fight now. I mean come on Bush is leading in all the polls and it turns out that he is doing something for the economy. If he can turn it around come November next year I don't see anyone stopping him. The democrats are a lost cause they don't seem to have a clear agenda to fight Bush on. I know there are few problems in the present administration but so were the previous ones. What matters is that do the good things outweigh the bad things. As of this last month it looks like it. The economy is slowly gearing up and hopefully it will maintain a steady growth rate. That's what's important, "Steady growth rate". Anyway, let's see how that goes...
