President Obama tries to find student support that helped him in 2008

In Virginia, Obama Sounds Call for Young Voters

As Virginia's polls stay very close in Virginia, the President tries to cue into that student population that helped to send him to victory in 2008. Students are often the hardest group to round up, as we are still not entirely sure of our status in society yet or the identity that we want others to perceive. It is hard to feel as if our votes individually make any difference at all, especially when we are drowning in a sea of information that is so interdisciplinary. Another reason is because we simply don't feel as if our vote is going to make a difference. President Obama seems to clearly recognize the importance of abating these fears and is trying to do what he can to pull in the student vote. I feel very strongly that the student vote changed the election of 2008 in ways that a lot of people did not see coming, and I am hoping to once again feel proud of my generation for their participation in the choosing of the leaders of our country.
