Exclusive cell phone ownership is drastically higher among the young.

Really? Most of the people I know in their 30's and 40's own a cell phone. I know very very few who do NOT have one. I'm not saying what you say is wrong, I'm just stating an observation.

We're talking about people who don't have landlines, States.

If you read the article, it claims that seven out of eight cell-only users have favorable opinions of Obama.

Yeah, but they are young voters and we know their history of reliability when election time rolls around. So it probably evens out.

Sure, the cell-phone affect might affect a modern McGovern.  Maybe he would only lose by 22% instead of 23% if he was running today and polled, hah.

Lunar, honestly until I see it actually affecting the election in practice I can't put my faith in the truth of this assumption.
