The Change Message Resonates With Young People

The New York Times recruited student reporters from colleges and universities across the country to report on student reaction to Friday night's Presidential Debate. The reviews are in: Senator Obama's message of change, relief to middle class families, and a smart foreign policy continues to resonate with young people. I will let our local Cambridge resident, Neil McMullen explain why. He speaks about turning 18 years old and voting for the first time with his naturalized United States citizen mother and older brother. Neil offers some insightful and personal feelings about democracy in America and the right to vote in the land of the free. I will be reporting on these final days of Presidential Debates and Election 2008...please follow video blogs. Be live...Be there

Neil McMullen is my nephew. Today I got a link to this interview and I must be the proudest auntie on Earth! We live on opposite sides of the planet and I haven't seen Neil since he was eight years old. You can probably imagine how impressed I am at his thoughtful and intelligent points of view! If Neil represents the young people of America, I'd say the nation has a great future outlook and I would say that even if I had never heard of him before.
