...they're not going to preach--and on opening night there were no lapses into sanctimony--how exactly does a group of musicians hope to accomplish its tantalizingly vague goal of change? Voter registration is the old standby response, but Pennsylvania's deadline to register is Oct. 4, three days after Friday's shows; Florida's deadline is also Oct. 4, four days before Vote for Change comes to town. MoveOn.org says it has gained 200,000 new members by linking ticket sales to its website, and organizers expect to raise $10 million to fund Democratic voter-mobilization group America...
...support. Women overall are less likely than men to cite security as a top issue. Women worry more about domestic issues like jobs, where Democrats traditionally have an advantage. The archetypal security mom--a white, married, suburban woman concerned about her family's safety--is not really a swing voter anyway. She has been in Bush's camp from the start, and is more likely to cite his faith and values than his national-security policy as the reason.

But Harvard’s Vote or Die division has a more specific goal than voter turnout; in the recent Undergraduate Council election they endorsed nine candidates who they felt would better serve the needs of a diverse student body. By encouraging students to vote and become more engaged in the process of selecting student government leaders, the Vote or Die Family serves a useful role...
...ahead of ourselves; the current nature of council campaigning is laughable. Many candidates are lucky if students simply recognize their names, much less have any idea where they stand on issues such as the J-Term, the fee hike or funding for student groups. Most voter “education” comes in the form of posters and quick, superficial door-to-door visits (if you’re lucky). Often students make the tough choices based on who has the cleverest slogan. In races considered by and large to be farcical, endorsements from groups such as the Vote...
