Republicans like to make excuses for every demographic they keep losing, so it makes sense that many in the GOP chattering class comfort themselves with the idea that young people are more easily won over by flash and fluff. And yes, some young voters are, but probably not any more so than older people. I'd wager that most of us on the forum are fairly young and we seem to know what's up.
By the way, age definitely doesn't always mean wisdom, at least when it comes to politics. My 82 year old grandmother (god love her) just gave me her postgame analysis. Here's her breakdown of Obama's victory, group by group.
Hispanics- They voted for Obama because they want amnesty. (Also, many illegals voted for Obama, apparently)
African Americans- They're the takers. They want to control government so they can keep getting free stuff and unfair advantages.
Single Women- They all just want abortions.
Young people- They're brainwashed by the public schools and the liberal media.
Yes, she's been able to vote since the 50s, and since then, has become an astute observer of the electorate and policy issues.
