A breath of fresh air, but also a face-palm moment all the same. For 1, 4, 11, 13, 18, and 20 the next question should be…and your holding that Romney sign because??? I really do feel as though the next generation of college kids (those in high school now) will be the ones to really push through equal rights for all people and equal pay for women. I would wager that a lot of these kids are holding that Romney sign out of a peer connection that they feel they must maintain, but they are clearly conflicted. Their current Republican party does not represent them and they will hopefully change that.
Reason all these kids are Republicans: “because my parents are”
@V “Reason all these kids are Republicans: “because my parents are” ”
And that’s the #1 correlating factor in party identification. #2 is education level.
