The under 30 turnout will be terrible - probably like 25%

I don't think the Black turnout will be as high as 2008, not as much historical excitement/malaise. 

I secretly think both candidates want turnout to be low for their own advantages.  A High Turnout of energized voters is usually bad news for the Incumbent (Obama).  Because it shows unrest on polarizing national issues. 

Romney wants to a low turnout of Democrats.  Republican voters (Evangelicals, Middle Class adults, Seniors, etc.) are usually more reliable at getting to the voting booth.
