  The answer to Monday's "More Dirty Minds" was a DATE.  Here are the clues for today:

  
  

  
  
  1. If you get me when I'm naked, you have to finish me.
     
  2. You have to strip me to get me naked.
     
  3. It hard to get the stain out of my crack.

  
  

  As always, THINK CLEANLY and HAPPY GUESSING! xD

  2004 Not Breakout Year for Youth Vote

  WASHINGTON (AP) -- This was not the breakout year for young voters that some had anticipated.
  

  Fewer than one in 10 voters Tuesday were 18 to 24, about the same proportion of the electorate as in 2000, exit polls indicated. Still, with voter turnout expected to be higher overall, more young people appeared to have come out.
  

  A vigorous push on college campuses by both parties and national mobilization drives had raised expectations that 2004 would be the year of the youth vote.
  

  Exit polls indicated that young people who did vote were strongly supporting Democrat John Kerry over President Bush, while they were evenly split between Bush and Democrat Al Gore four years ago.
  

  The exit polls were conducted for The Associated Press by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International.
  

  First-time voters made up about 10 percent of the electorate, about the same as in 2000, and they favored Kerry. Four years ago, the group leaned toward Gore.
  

  The economy and moral values were the top issues for young voters, with about one-fifth of those surveyed choosing each. Young people concerned about moral values strongly supported Bush, while those interested in the economy and jobs chose Kerry.
  

  Iraq and terrorism were next on the list -- with Kerry winning the Iraq vote and Bush taking the terrorism group.
  

  "It's definitely the war," said Eliana Deutsch, 20, of San Diego, explaining why she came out. "People see these soldiers who are 18 and don't have an education, and they're over there dying. It's really sad that that (the military) is their best option."
  

  Sarah White, 18, a North Palm Beach high school student in Florida who was excited about voting for the first time, went for Bush, saying, "I agree with a lot of what he stands for."

  I heard from another source..

  
  

  There are 30 million eligible voters that registered to vote that are in the 18-24 age range.
  9 out of 10 eligible voters in the age groups of 18-24 range did NOT vote.
  just pitiful =

  
  

  Funny, because it seems like this age group seemed to have been the most concerned about the outcome of the election. 

  
  

  but then again,  I guess with this election year being so star studded, it was just "over-hyped" and people were registering just because it was "the cool thing to do."
  However, it's one thing to REGISTER, and another thing to actually go out and VOTE.

  
  

  So if you signed up, and you chose NOT to vote, and you're sour about the outcome, don't be complainin', because you did nothing.
  Politics is NOT a spectator sport.  GET INVOLVED!

  
  

  In the 2000 election, Vice-President Al Gore had won the popular vote, but had lost when it came down to the electoral college votes.

  
  

  For some reason, I think that this was one of the reasons as to why Senator Kerry did not do as well as people had hoped.  The common mentality from young voters was:
   "Gee, why should I vote? [insert candidate's name here]  is going to win [insert your state's name here] anyways."

  
  

  So what?  The raw data numbers count as well.

  
  

  If Kerry had won the popular vote, but still lost the electoral votes, then thats something totally different.  That would have sent a strong message that even though President Bush won, there are MORE people that disapprove of him than approve of him.

  
  

  But as of this writing, President Bush has 3,582,277 more votes than Kerry.

  
  

  A republican controlled white house with a republican controlled senate and a republican controlled house.
  fun fun fun
