On Politics

In my experience, it is the rare college student who follows politics with any frequency (usually only those "nerdy" Poli Sci students are the ones who pay attention). This is sad, but not surprising. According to the
Center for Political Participation:

Nearly 85 percent of college freshmen volunteer. Yet just 40 percent of Americans under 25, on average, voted in the last three presidential elections.

I started to develop a sense of political consciousness when I was in college, sometime around my junior year. Before that, it was all Greek to me. For those who would like to learn more about politics, especially during this exciting time, with the '08 election coming up, I would point you to two websites I've learned about in recent days that are geared towards students.
