What may trounce Bush this election.

My father brought up a point that I han't really considered until last night.

The polls, which show the two candidates in a dead heat at the moment, may not only be slightly incorrect, they may be downright wrong.

There are a few major factors that nobody seems to have considered: 1) polls are notorious for ignoring people aged 18-30. 2) Record numbers of 18-20-year olds are registering to vote in this election. 3) If Bush gets elected, we're going to face the very real possibility of having a draft by the time the year's out. 4) All men between the ages of 18-30 are those who face the possibility of being drafted. 5) Very few men between the ages of 18-30 want to get drafted.

In short, for the first time ever, the youth of America may have a decisive voice in this election.

Of course, you gotta feel sorry for Kerry. Even if he gets elected (which is seeming more and more plausible by the minute), his entire first term is going to be spent un-screwing up the country.

Another factor: a sizeable portion of the young population of the US watches John Stewart.

And they vote.
