Obama, Biden head back to school to reach young voters

Recap:

This article discussed the upcoming mid-term election and what Barack Obama and Joe Biden are doing to convince voters. Both President Obama and Vice President Biden going to be at rallies supporting the Democratic party over the next few weeks. The majority of these rallies are aimed at young people. Obama next week is at University of Wisconsin and Biden is at Penn state University. Obama and Bidens reasoning behind these rallies is that 11 percent of voters in the 2008 election were first time voters and 70% of them voted for Obama. Polls also show that a large part of Obamas supporters are under the age of 30. It also talks about how important this election is although it is only the mid term. It is said that many of the senate seats are expected to be won by the Republican party which would make this a very important election for Obama, Biden and the entire Democratic party!

Opinion:

It's an interesting article as it shows that Barack Obama wants as many votes as he can get. I think it's a great idea to appear at universities as this is where hundreds of thousands of young people can come and see you speak. I don't know everything about the election although from the articles I have read over the past couple of weeks, it seems to me like the republicans don't have a good chance of holding on to open senate seats and governorships. I'm excited to see what will happen in the mid term election as it is only a month and a bit away.
