Summary: The venerable and trustworthy Daily Mail compares youth opinion of Obama from Novemeber 2008 to now and is shocked, shocked to discover that it's gone down.

Coolness, or a perceived lack of it, is no reason to vote for or against a candidate. Made that point to my college-age niece & her idiot Obama T-shirt wearin’ friends back in ‘08.

Today I’m starting to see some common sense seeping in.
