1. Do you know why I hope you're right?
Not because you think Dean has a snowball's chance in hell, which I don't, but because if he does win then we will have somebody who can replace that Frank Luntz moron on the air as the guy who came up with the explanation for the 2004 voting patterns.

You.

We'll see how it turns out but I have high hopes.

2. I accept. Luntz is a Dunce!

He doesn't even know the word Millennial. Which means he thinks those 15 million new voters will behave like Generation X in 2004. Furthest thing from the truth.

Watch this space for more information on the awakening MILLENNIAL TIDAL WAVE!

BTW, it's Bush that has that snowball's chance, because Dean gets 6 million extra votes from the Millennials and 2 million from other sources, allowing Dean to hold on to all the blue states and take OH and WV (and AR if Clark is VP). We win with 291 Electoral College votes.

3. Cool.
Michigan will still beat USC on Thursday, but it's cool that Millennials are coming around and voting Democratic.

4. I must be a dunce too!
This is the first time I've heard the term "Millennial", and apparently I am one!

I've always thought of myself as Generation Y, but Millennial sounds cooler and differentiates us from Gen-X.

5. I remember the day that many USC students jeered Walter "Fritz" Mondale
as he attempted to give a speech on campus during his 1984 presidential run. The Young Republicans seemed more like a bunch of brown shirts.
