GOP nominees since 1976 by age

Bush won 45% of the youth vote in 2004, and IIRC Reagan won young voters as well. DEMOGRAPHIC SOLIDARITY FTW is just as fallacious when, as Rubio says, some assume that "a last name ending in a vowel" gets you the Hispanic vote. Software is what you're trying to sell, hardware is a bonus.

This trend also reverses in 2016.

Democrats:

Hillary Clinton- 69
Andrew Cuomo- 59
Brian Schweitzer- 61
Russ Feingold- 63
John Hickenlooper- 64
Martin O'Malley- 53


Republican

Chris Christie- 54
Mike Pence- 57
Bobby Jindal- 45
Paul Ryan- 46
Scott Walker- 49

I used OurCampaigns as my source for both. Certainly all the Democrats listed have been talked about, especially Feingold, O'Malley and Cuomo. For the Republicans, all except Walker have been mentioned in a presidential contest.
