That explains why Ron Paul cant win....its a numbers game.
Registered voters 18-24 yr old - 14+ million
Registered voters 25-34 yr old - 21+ million
These age groups represent the core RP supporters.
Then you have the baby boomers and seniors:
Registered voters 45-54 yr old - 29+ million
Registered voters 55 and over - 48+ million
And these groups vote at a higher percentage.
