Why the GOP Lost the Youth Vote


I came across an article by David
Frum
in this morning's USA Today, entitled Why
the GOP Lost the Youth Vote
.

Don't get me wrong, I think David Frum is one smart political strategist, but
I figure I'll insert my two cents on this one.

Frum argues that the GOP is losing the youth vote for several reasons, which
you can read in his article, but they all have to do with current environmental
& political conditions and little to do with the way the party is
communicating with this changing generation of voters.

I'm interested to hear more about how Frum views the role of the Internet as
a means to communicate with youth voters.

Is it really that the GOP's issues don't align with youth priorities, or is
it more a failure to communicate effectively?

What do you think?
