(Yeah, no respect for him, but I enjoyed reading the first 2 paragraphs of this article)

Pollster Frank Luntz, whose Washington research firm works with Republican political candidates, was last Friday's guest. Here are excerpts from his remarks:
On the importance of voters aged 18-29, based on the Nov. 2 election:

"They are going to be the battleground for the next four years. first-time youth voters, 62 percent supported Kerry; 35 percent supported Bush. They are, for the Democrats, the beginning of a core constituency if they hope to return to power. The Democratic Party cannot win without the youth voting in even larger numbers."

On the news-consumption habits of young voters:

"Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but are not reading your newspapers. And I am sorry, too, the anchors of the networks, but they are not watching them, either. A greater degree with every passing month are getting their information from the Internet."
