It sounds like I’m harping on about this, but it’s Paul, not me.

t r u t h o u t - Paul Krugman | The Sweet Spot

George W. Bush is like a man who tells you that he’s bought you a fancy new TV set for Christmas, but neglects to tell you that he charged it to your credit card, and that while he was at it he also used the card to buy some stuff for himself.

That three-word phrase — “when they vote” — is the key to understanding swing voters. The most accurate definition of a swing voter is a person who swings between voting and not voting. No matter how defined, however, swing voters remain the most coveted, and most influential, demographic in American politics. And this year’s swing voter could very well be . . . Young People.
