Is Obama the Candidate for Young Voters?

In addition to being clearly ahead for the younger demographic in democratic polls, Obama seems to be the right choice for youth. Of course it’s great for him that he has so much support, but is this support rational, or is it merely jumping on the Obama bandwagon? Let’s face it, Obama’s clearly cooler than 60 year old Hilary or 71 year old McCain, and Obama has a clear youthful energy. However, I believe that Barak is the right choice for this demographic. He plans on offering a tax credit for college so that the first $4000 is completely free for most Americans. He also plans on covering two-thirds of the tuition at the average public university, and community college will be completely free for most students. He also has a plan to streamline the financial aid process. Further more, Obama wants to get the youth involved by providing many government volunteer opportunities where college tuition is helped paid by the government when students work in various areas, be it helping the homeless, or working on a campaign. Of course, this means nothing without a comparison from the other democratic option. Like most of her issues, Clinton’s stance for the youth is vague and she does not provide any specifics.
