		<description>Eric:  Sorry for my delayed response. Very reasonable point. I think it is fair to say that the nature of the Millennial voter pool has changed substantially in 2010 because of much lower participation from liberal/progressive younger voters and a fair amount of disillusionment that they have not seen the major changes they expected happen quickly or at all.  I agree with you that equality and marriage equality are major issues for these voters -- to their great credit, they have a stronger sense of fairness than many Americans. I also think that to have waited this long for the major reform we need to address the Wall Street greed and recklessness that almost brought down the world&#039;s economy is politically tone deaf and a huge mistake from a policy standpoint. It should have been one of the first things on the agenda after the swearing in last year. And it would have passed at that time with huge support.</description>

		<description>A minor point I would like to make on your post.  You mention that it is a major reversal of fortune in less than two years.  I would respectfully disagree.  It is further evidence that the Millennials (of which I am one for several more months) are becoming more engaged (especially since as a midterm election, turnout is by nature lower without the excitement of a Presidential race).

So then the trick is, figuring out a way to re-energize those Millennials that we can count on, which is going to be tricky.  The changed they were promised has been pushed down the road (from their perspective), a unified Republican front in saying &#039;No&#039; and a semi-fractured Democratic caucus (especially within the Senate).  The solution to all that in my mind (if only focusing on re-energizing the Millennials) is to have the White House enforce party unity within the Senate and produce meaningful work on Gay Rights and currently the Wall St. reform bill by doing what many populists (and general citizenry) feel is the correct choice:  breaking up the banks to eliminate the possibility that any one institution can bring down our Nation again and encourage and produce competition between the various groups of banks that will ultimately benefit themselves along with everyone else.

I&#039;d love to hear your thoughts.</description>

		<description>Very fair point DV.  I certainly was not trying to disrespect the First Lady or her performance so far in this position. Hopefully, we can agree that ex Gov now talk host Palin has a long way to go to be credible with key swing voters. Of course, she&#039;s got a long time to turn things around too.</description>
