    But then the negative aspect of tying your hopes and dreams to a single candidate like this is that I fear that if he doesn't get the nomination, young people will not bother to vote in any election this year, let alone the presidential one.

Or even worse, he could go on to win the election and then have nothing really change. That was my experience with Obama, and while I was certainly naive in my youthful optimism, there are some other takeaways from that experience. The nature of politics is a brutal lesson.
