Young voters were fairly conservative in previous years.  Didn't they vote heavily for Nixon in 1972 and Reagan in 1984? 

It may be some social issues today and social trends that have caused younger generations to have a very different attitude towards certain things than their grandparents did.  I know with my grandparents, I would differ from them enormously on issues such as interracial marriage and such.
