Future Majority on CNN (Welcome CNN Viewers) - Update

Update: Well that was interesting. They blindsided me with two questions in the beginning that weren't discussed in the pre-interview (I had no warning that we'd discuss that poll or foreknowledge of the results). My final answer could have been stronger. I should have mentioned that the proof of young voter excitement was in the turnout numbers - double, triple, even quadruple 2004 numbers in some states. C'es La Vie. I'll do better next time.

I'm also a little upset that they misidentified me. We agreed that I'd be identified as a youth blogger at Future Majority.com and author of Youth to Power. Instead, They said I was a former Dean staffer (not true - I was involved in the early Meet Up scene in NYC on a purely volunteer level), and an Obama supporter (This is sort of right. I voted for him but he was my 2nd choice. I haven't campaigned for him or endorsed him as a blogger).

I'll be on CNN Newsroom at 11am this morning talking about the youth vote in Ohio. I'm pretty nervous as this is my first network/cable news appearance (not really counting G4). Hope it goes well.

Additionally, welcome CNN viewers - here's the nickel tour.
