Call Me GOP

Lately, it seems there’s been a host of young conservatives rapping about politics. From the Young Cons out of Dartmouth to “Just Tax” — a parody of Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance” — which seems to have gone viral a couple of days ago. In The Daily Beast, Meghan McCain discusses the connection between pop culture and politics. But Autotune and dance beats alone aren’t enough. Is there a generational difference between voters’ ideologies and political concerns? What might young voters care about that the older generations don’t (and vice versa)?

In the last election, Obama was praised for getting the youth vote. Why couldn’t the Republican Party?

The “Young Con Anthem” from two kids out of Dartmouth University has been going around the internet for about a month now, but it’s worth another view.
