Senator Barack Obama has done a fabulous job with his online campaign and these folks to the right are the minds behind it all. Check out this great slideshow and article from the Washington Post.

“Roughly a third of young Americans would give a “great deal of consideration” to entering government service if asked by their parents, a teacher or — surprisingly — the next president of the United States, according to a Gallup survey.”

Not Asked What They Can Do for Their Country by Stephen Barr, columnist for the Washington Post brings up a study by Gallup which points to the belief that millennials would be more likely to enter government service if asked by our Commander in Chief.

Interesting read.

Great article in USA Today yesterday.

The article points to Gen Y’s tolerance for diversity, a desire for a more optimistic view on social issues and the need for emphasis on environmental issues.

For those of you who don’t know, I am also blogging for ERE Blog Network.

Check out my post today: Obama Reveals the Secret to Attracting the Net Generation .

This article discusses teens’ keen interest in the Presidential election and why Obama is still the preferred candidate for young voters.

The paragraph on teens and civic/social causes is most interesting. Check out the article on Chron.com.

Anya Kamenetz has a great post today on Yahoo Finance about the issues facing young voters. A big concern? The economy.

Several more senior leaders have been telling me that Gen Y does not seem concerned about the economy, but this is not what I am hearing, and Kamenetz’s opinion is more in line with what I am hearing.

New America Media has a great post from March 14 by the title of Obama is My Cool Art Teacher and Clinton is My Mean Science Teacher.

I would not call Hillary Clinton mean (I see her as direct and to the point), yet many Millennials are saying that they do view Obama as more of an inspirational, hip leader and Clinton as more of a grandmother figure. The interesting twist here is that many of the Millennials we are speaking with are turning to men and women of their grandparents’ generation for mentoring and support.

As we all know, grandparents are much more forgiving and patient with their grandchildren. And…many Millennials will be the first to tell you that when both parents in the home are working, the grandparents are stepping in to help out.

At any rate, check out this post for an interesting and humorous perspective.

Millennial Leaders

So…here comes Gen Y…just a taste of what they can do.  Very inspiring…reminds me of their parents in the 60s.

So…do you notice the way Obama interacts with young voters? Do you hear the words “revolution” being mentioned.

This video shows exactly why young voters are so attracted to Obama.
