Youth Making the Difference for Obama

The youth vote described in Time. An excerpt about Claire McCaskill moving from observer to endorser of Obama, with a little help from her daughter:

The Senator's daughter Maddie Esposito had seen
the way her mother teared up whenever she heard
Obama speak. And now it was happening again as
mother and daughter sat side by side on the
family-room sofa in a suburb of St. Louis, watching
the results of the Iowa caucuses on TV. "You know
you believe in him," Maddie admonished her
damp-eyed mother. "It's time to step up." The next
morning, Maddie, a college freshman home for the
holidays, added a threat: "You have to do it, or I'm
never talking to you again."
