Photo: Bryce Richter The youth vote has the power to sway the 2012 elections but the millennial generation is not as likely to show up this Election Day. In 2008, the youth vote gave Obama an edge over McCain. Arthur Levine and Diane Dean, authors of "Generation on a Tightrope: A Portrait of Today's College Students," told Huffington Post that in 10 of the 12 battleground states, the numbers of college students a

There's something amiss about a number of Ron Paul campaign's adherents, many of whom did little to aid the congressman in his third and final candidacy for the presidency. These Paul supporters continue to post attacks upon those who supported other candidates. Many of whom are now, often begrudgingly, supporting Mitt Romney.

Some analysts considered this a high point in our democratic process, but it was far from a trend setter. Historically, turnout in primaries and caucuses have always been low. The highest turnouts are typically during the years where the presidential races are most competitive, such as 1988 and 2000, but even then turnout is on

Another week of the presidential campaign cycle, another wave of campaign ads hitting airwaves.

But its tenure as a swing state may be coming to a close. “Missouri has been a bellwether state for more than 100 years, with presidential candidates lavishing attention on Show-Me State voters and spending millions on field operations, glossy campaign mailers, and TV ads.
