I, a 22 year old would like to express my disappointment in the apathy of my generation. That is pitiful. I am almost emberassed to be a part of this generation. I'm working in post-grad college now, but in 2000 thru 2002 I was still in undergrad and all I've seen amongst college students is big opinions about politics. So, where the hell those people come yesterday? I don't care who you would have voted for, you should get out and VOTE. I'm origionally from a town in IL on the IA/IL border, so I have some friends that live in IA, and even they didn't vote. I went nuts when they voiced they "probably wouldn't" vote and made jokes about how it was "to much work". They were in a swing state! Admittedly IA wasn't the deciding factor, but it could have been.

Am I just too cynical?

Edit: This was a post I created in err not seeing this one first. Secret has a point, but with all the strong opinions I've seen amongst my peers, I expected a mugh higher turnout still.
