Last week, I stopped by the big Barack Obama rally here in New York City. Looking around at the crowd, you could tell it was a young group (no doubt due the fact that the rally took place essentially in the middle of NYU). Eventually, he reached the point in his stump speech where candidates generally list off the issues they think the crowd wants to hear about, and the crowd responds with cheers. He mentioned ending the occupation of Iraq. The crowd cheered. He mentioned guaranteeing health care for all Americans (however he plans to do that). The crowd cheered a little louder. He mentioned many issues, but it was only when he said "and we will make a college education affordable for everyone!" that the crowd truly erupted in cheers.
