There's high visibility, but it's not that much higher than usual. Though, the Democratic race being so close makes it for more interesting to report on, as do the race and sex of the Democratic candidates.
You'd think people would care about generally the same issues, but they don't. Younger people are generally more concerned about the environment, extremely concerned about health insurance, and they're more interested in fundamentally changing the way politics works (hence the gravitation towards Obama). Young people are less likely to accept "this is the way politics has always been" as an excuse for certain political behaviors.
