To lose anyone is horrible.

To lose anyone who fights the battle of being themselves, who shares her intellect to change the world is worse.

This is a sad and uncalled for way of death.
Bicyclists, you are important to be a bicyclist.

Everyone be careful, those cars don’t always respect you.

with these memorials we hope to provide a space to remember and to reflect.

and dave I’ll call you Monday morning, might be late now.

will called me with the news on saturday morning. i wanted to donate my old bike to be ghost-biked in her honor. im trying to get information on the services,but havent heard anything.

the one thing NONE of these arguments take into account is voter registration. Young people are usually not registered with the Democratic party, and only in a handful of states are Independents allowed to vote in the democratic primaries. LIKE MYSELF. registered in NY state but unable to vote on Super Tuesday, because I am an Independent. so the ’significant gap’ that you mention forgets this important variable, I reckon. i.e. how many of the many people we live with are actually registered with the Democratic party vs how many of those same people WILL vote on Nov 2?

before Bob Barker retired last year, did you SEE his audience members? they were 20-40 somethings who adored the aura and myth of the man! not retired 60s with nothing better to do than go to the television studio!

as for that 2002 census bureau, that was before we had invaded Iraq. I believe young people have been galvanized by that event, this war, and KNOW for a FACT that we have more at stake than ever before in our future, even at such a young age. the media is partially to thank for this, but the internet and blogs (Baghdad Blogger, Alive in Baghdad, etc) are particularly responsible for bringing awareness of events from the war to our doorstep, and young people are easily more aware that if we put bad people in power, we get bad results. It isn’t simply about higher incomes and home-owners anymore, people are ‘more human’ than ever before - you’ve just enlightened me to my next thesis!

you’ll see that there is evidence to support that idea. And although Obama has been sweeping all the recent primaries (which is great) it has been a neck-and-neck race until these past few contests. And although I don’t know exactly how the math in the “most content wins” theory plays itself out (i.e. whether 1 bazillion friends on facebook means 1 bazillion votes, or if the flickr/facebook/voter ratio is a bit more tricky than that) it does seem that a significant gap in online content would be mirrored by a significant gap in the polls. But until recently, it’s been a close race at the polls. Only in these past few weeks has Obama begun to pull ahead. According to your theory, it seems as if Obama should have solidified his lead long ago. But that’s not the case.

As a 2002 US Census Bureau states:

“The characteristics of people who
are most likely to go to the polls
are a reflection of both the
racial/ethnic composition of the citi-
zen population and the attributes of
people with the biggest stakes in
society: *older individuals*, home-
owners, married couples, and peo-
ple with more schooling, higher
incomes, and good jobs….

Although Obama won among older voters in maryland it was, according to CNN (your source)
“a striking reversal from the trend in nearly every state to date — in an average of exit polls on Super Tuesday, Clinton beat Obama among voters 60 and older by roughly 30 points.”

What a flashback!

Tanks for the memories!
