Simple fact of the matter is, this place skews fairly old, for the internet. And granted, older voters are reliable voters.

But if you want to look at where things are going, look to the youth. That's why the sea change in marriage equality took so many conventional widsom nabobs (the same people who still think the way to win elections is to court the elusive "values voter&quot by surprise... they don't understand Millennials.

Hell, I have trouble grasping that the people taking their drivers tests this year were born during the Monica Lewinsky days... but that's the reality.
