Is this the year of youth vote?

In recent years, the fact that youth suffrage at eighteen existed in the United States of America had often been overlooked. As a result, the youth voter's participation in referendums and local elections have not been high enough. This year, however, is different. The presidential elections have finally started to target the youth, because of the example that Barack Obama had made. Barack Obama was the first candidate in years to actually start targeting the youth. Barack Obama's liberal views and passionate speaches enchanted the youth. He spoke to them directly, of the progressive path he would lead the nation to. The youth felt empowered, and created coalitions to help youth voters grow in number. Thanks ot the efforts of Barack Obama, the youth of america finally feels like voting. Thanks to the surge of new voters/supporters, Barack Obama's lead position had become incumbent. Other candidates have also started to target the youth. For example, Mike Huckabee united the evangelical conservative youth to support him. This year, is the year that the power of youth will shine, as youth has been empowered. The youth has finally realized that one vote can change everything.
