i hope you guys are right regarding young voters in urban areas ... my intuition is that whites 18-35 in major urban areas are socially liberal but would be receptive to balanced budget arguments
You didn't say whites. What is the youth's obsession with gay marriage and abortion? Such wedge issues, only meant to distract from the fact that 37% of people are out of the work force. What good is a gay wedding if you can't afford to buy the couple a present?
