Reply #21: It's an interesting strategy but I think it's risky.

It looks like they're courting young voters. Is there "boomer fatigue" among them? Or anti-establishment (anti-parent?) rebellion?

It does sound like what the rightwing has said for a long time, and maybe the Obama camp wants to leverage that somehow; or maybe they think coming at this same set of rhetoric from the other side (from a younger perspective rather than a 1950s one) will resonate. It is definitely a resentment the rightwing had for the Clintons, and it's picking up on that.

I think it's risky for Obama for a few reasons. First, it's divisive. Second, emphasizing generations could point up his youth in a way that reinforces it negatively for people who are concerned about inexperience. But it may tap into something that excites young voters, and they must have tested it somehow -- so, time will tell, I guess!
