Recently Obama announced that he would be making school loans cheaper and would make them significantly easier to repay. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-unveils-student-loan-relief-plan-in-denver-campus-appearance/2011/10/26/gIQAOcDNJM_story.html?hpid=z2)
Obama was known for his ability to sway the swing voter last election. Isn't this an example of just that? The youth of America is the second lowest voting group (by percentage it is just above the unemployed.) However, Obama is giving them a reason to vote. Not only that, youth has been correlated to a high number of swing voters so Obama is not only drawing in new voters, he is also seducing the swing voter just as he did before. Additionally, parents sympathetic to their children’s livelihoods (the majority of them) will support this change. Overall I believe Obama has begun to move into a full on political assault whereas the Republicans are still forced to bicker among one another and fight for nomination.
