"Young voters led surge in 2004 election"...Uh, Duh
It only took the media one year to discover this: "Young voters led surge in 2004 election".
Just as important, but completely missed in the mass-media rush to blame young people last year for Kerry's loss (take a bow, NPR, for your idiotic, factless November 3rd, 2004 reporting--) was this inconvenient fact:
Hip-hop voters led the youth surge.
Here are the reports from the Center For Information & Research on Civic Learning & Engagement--which anyone who has heard me ranting about this have heard me cite over and over, and which the media will discover probably sometime around the winter of next year.

+ Quick Facts About Young Voters, 2004 (pdf download)
On the other hand, if Rove and his comrades are not worried about other things right now, expect a big push in 2006 from hip-hop Republicans.
And that's...no joke.
