The Generation Gap and the 2012 Election

[Frodo]

As an aside, just how big is our generation -what older people call the 'Millennial Generation'?  We have often been described as the largest generation since the Baby Boomers, and now I am reading anecdotal editorials that we are the largest generation in American history surpassing even the Baby Boomers in sheer numbers. 

So which is it?

Just answered my own question.  I have read through numerous articles and studies, and though they provide varying figures (depending on how you measure it), it seems that they always seem to vary within a fairly narrow range of around 80 million, which seems to suggest that our Millennial generation is roughly equivalent in population to that of the Baby Boomers.  Which seems a reasonable enough conclusion.

Which dates are you using for "Millennial Generation"

Between 1981 and 1993...those of us at or between the ages of 18 and 30, basically.
