There's a name for this Strategy, and its called "Loser"

I dunno what the guys over at 538 are thinking. Whenever Democratic candidates start saying that they're going to get a lot of youth votes, and that youth votes are undercounted, that means they've lost.

Yeah, ok, if you were 14-17 in the last election, maybe you had an excuse for not voting. But if you didn't vote in Bush/Kerry, you're not going to vote in McCain/Obama.
