GOP sees opportunity in ‘disillusioned young voters’

?I think young voters are very hungry for new ideas and solutions to address long-term problems,? said Jeff Snow, chairman of the College Republicans at UW-Madison. ?Our main objective is asking students if their future is brighter than it was $5 trillion ago?? He?s referring the ballooning federal deficit, which along with bleak employment prospects for young people are the issues Republicans plan to stress in their outreach to young voters. College Republicans will be trumpeting those messages on campuses across the state starting this week, he said, joining a coordinated effort in Wisconsin that started with a prime-time appeal to young voters by Janesville Republican and vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan at last month?s Republican National Convention.
