McCain Not Pumping Up Young Conservatives

  It's obvious the younger age group is gravitating to Barack Obama. And even young conservatives say they are having a problem with John McCain.

  Again, it's that age thing. Obama is 46; McCain is 71. Obama is often seen with a Blackberry in his hands. McCain admits he doesn't even use e-mail. Obama has more than 427,000 friends on MySpace; McCain has less than 60,000.

  Quote: According to a Pew Research Center study conducted between October and March, McCain has a big numbers gap to close.

The study found that the current generation of young voters, those who came of age during the President Bush years, are giving the Democrats a wide edge.

Fifty-eight percent of voters under 30 identified or leaned toward the Democratic Party, compared with 33 percent who said they identified or leaned toward the Republican Party.
