I'm pretty sure he did all seven of those things by going after the then-Gen X vote. He appealed to the MTV crowd (back when they still played videos) while President Bush never gave them a second thought. Bush came of as the stuffy old curmudgeon as Clinton was answering "boxers or briefs." If that's not talking I don't know what is.

We are tired of being "talked at" and want to be "conversed with". Based on my experience in business working with this younger generation, they fully expect to be listened to and taken seriously. Many have been raised independently as latch-key kids with a lot of autonomy. They have learned to trust themselves and to become self-reliant. They want a vision and a plan they can believe in.....then again, don't we all? Liz Hi Eric

Great list – for any politician trying to capture anyone’s vote, not just the youth vote.

We are tired of being “talked at” and want to be “conversed with”.

Based on my experience in business working with this younger generation, they fully expect to be listened to and taken seriously. Many have been raised independently as latch-key kids with a lot of autonomy. They have learned to trust themselves and to become self-reliant.

They want a vision and a plan they can believe in…..then again, don’t we all?

(In NH they can register to vote the same day as the election.) We've always seen many young people voting at the national and state elections, but not so much in the local elections.
