New poll shows Obama losing support among young, women

Good news for McCain, for what it's worth - polls are always suspect, but if this is true, it means that McCain is cutting into what has been one of Obama's strongholds, younger voters. I have nothing to base this on beyond my personal feelings as a young voter (and at 28, do I even count as one of those still?), but I'd like to think that this is at least partially a reaction to the events of the past couple weeks, the scene in the House with the GOP staying behind, McCain's recent Moses ad, the increased general feistiness of the McCain campaign.

Speaking for myself, again, hopefully as a "younger" voter, I'm tired of seeing things run in Washington the way they have been my whole life. I'm tired of corruption and the status quo, and right now, despite all of Obama's talk of change, McCain is the candidate who is actually shaking things up. Right now, Obama is following McCain's lead on energy and on Iraq, trying desperately to somehow get to his right, angering his base in the process. Meanwhile, McCain and the GOP members in the House are able to sit back and gently mock Obama and Nancy Pelosi, inject some fun, some excitement into politics. Most importantly, McCain and the GOP are conveying the sense that things are actually getting done. This isn't politics as usual, this is members of the House of Representatives setting up webcams, using Twitter in the absence of CSPAN. Who knew energy policy could be exciting? Certainly not young voters, but they're starting to find out.
