Absolutely!
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to locate my original sources on this again, but I’ve read studies that 90% of Americans don’t change political parties after age 30.
I’ve done over 100 OPH/Nolan quiz surveys on college campuses with an average of over 100 responders each time – tens of thousands of data points – and the largest cluster among ALL students was around the left-center-libertarian borderline, that is about 80 personal/50 economic.
And, most of the people I talked to cared more and knew more about personal freedom issues – which they already agreed with us on – than economic issues, which they were ambivalent and/or uninformed about.
Ron Paul was able to connect with this demographic despite, not because, he is more conservative than the LP on several key social issues. A big part of that was his strong emphasis on peace, as well.
The LP should very much learn from that and devote a significant amount of its time and energy learning to and effectively putting into practice communicating with the under 30 age group.
THAT is our future my friends. That Gen Y group. They get it. Fiscally responsible and socially tolerant.
