What does your map look like?

It's so far out, that I went with my gut on many.

Michigan is lean-Dem because of the apparent success of the auto bailouts. Connecticut and New Jersey are toss-ups because they seem to be leaning Republican in the 2009 gubernatorial race.

I'm 25 and don't consider myself to be part of the youth, even though my age is.  Who knows whether the new youth will still like the government to be part of their lives.

As I say, the current 14-18 year olds will only know a Democratically controlled government, at least that they know a lot about. They'll remember the Democratic bailouts, the stimulus, any failure on healthcare or cap-and-trade will hurt Obama significantly with them. Not to mention Pelosi, Waxman, Dodd, Blagojavich (Spelling?), Spitzer, and others yet to come I'm sure.
