"Young Voters Targeted For Big Turnout"
An interview with Heather Smith, a member of the "Rock the Vote" tour said this is an orgization made to help young people get out there and vote. she mentioned how this generation of young voters from 18 to 25 years old is very much influenced by most of the thing going on right now in the country like the Iraq war, and education, etc. Miss Smith also mentioned how important it has been for each candidate to reach out and do these visits to these campuses around the country and talk about all these decisions that are going to effect our future and how we could have a big influence if we had more young voters out there. Also young voters look for trust and authenticity of a candidate so they know they will be able to trust whoever they vote for.

Here is my top one for week 4...
-With 99 percent of precincts counted, Clinton had 55 percent of the vote to Obama's 45 percent. Despite losing the Pennsylvania popular vote, Obama retained an overall lead of at least 500,000 votes. Also, a preliminary tabulation showed Clinton gaining at least 66 national convention delegates to 57 for Obama, with 35 still to be awarded. That gives Obama 1,705 delegates and Clinton 1,575, according to the AP tally
Best from week 4:
9. US News and World Report: Many Women Don't feel Obligated to vote for Clinton--A recent poll says that only 22% of women feel like they have to vote for Clinton just because she is female. Overall, Obama has won more of the female vote than Clinton. In the states that Obama won the women vote, he also took the state. Women over 50 tend to vote for Cliton, but younger women, of which there are more, vote Obama.
