Once out of bed, they will find student Democratic volunteers bustling about with iPads and smartphones, ready to tell them which is their polling station and to provide directions. Democrats are in a thumping majority on this diverse, inner-city campus, and for weeks the Obama campaign has deployed a paid field organiser at Temple, registering students to vote. The college Democrats' president, Dylan Morpurgo, has honed a special pitch for students uninterested in elections. He points out that politicians decide such things as tuition fees and student-loan interest rates and that thanks to Barack Obama, young graduates can stay on their parents' health insurance. Put to one side the startling news that today's political-science majors need reminding that there is a presidential election on, or that young Republicans fear being teased. The coddling and hand-holding of modern voters is a phenomenon worth pondering, and extends well beyond college campuses. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
