I remember CNN announcing that voters were given pizza, but they didn't say that it was party-affiliated. Look, if people were out there waiting for that long, they at least deserve dinner.

But I agree completely that those "musicians" have no clue. They're going out on MTV telling people to go vote--I haven't watched MTV since I was 16, it's too juvenile. 17% youth vote in 2000, 17% youth vote in 2004. Maybe in 4 years we'll see a huge young voter turnout, but as of now, MTV and Hollywood as a whole just got a reality check. People are going to vote if it matters to them, and it's hard to make someone care.
