Who would have thought, the young generation actually DOES matter in elections!
Few may believe the 18-25-year-old generation matters when it comes to politics...talk politics with any Great Aunt Mary and you'll get a response along the lines of "you're young, what do you know?!"
...Well Aunt Mary, turns out the youth of America does know a thing or two about good ol' politics!
Take Jason Rae for example. Rae is a young 22-years-old---you're typical college student. Rae worries about midterms, girls, and his decisions for the DNC in August...?
That's right, DNC--the Democratic National Committee. Rae is historically the youngest Super Delegate on record, and he is proving to the world that age does not matter when it comes to politics.
Rae has been spotlighted on various shows from CNN's Anderson Coopers' 360 to John Stewart's daily late night program.
I luckily got a chance to interview Rae via telephone earlier this month (Rae is a Super D from Wisconsin and attends Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI., so unfortunately he couldn't make a trip down to DC just for me...)
Rae discussed some of his experiences as a Super D, why he wants to be a Super Delegate, and how he wants more emphasis to be put on the younger generation when it comes to voting.

Stay tuned for an interview I will be conducting with Joseph Mondello, head of the GOP in New York to hear the republican point of view on the Super Delegate situation...
