Does the GOP need young voters?

Both Nixon and Reagan won the youth vote, and George W. Bush only lost it by 2 points (while losing the 65+ vote by 4 points).

This is a very salient point. The GOP attracted all the motivated youth back in the '80s;  College Republicans had their shit together, drives and events were filled with the sharpest kids with excellent organizational development at the grass roots level and superior communication and networking--while the youth associated with the Democratic Party was seen as disjointed, unorganized and out of touch.  Times have changed.

Because I know Canadian politics better... the Conservatives do not need Quebec to win.  Never have, likely never will.  However when they are seen as writing off Quebec it actually turns off voters from other parts of the country.  A government does need to at least try and govern for all of it's citizens (this, by the way, was the problem with Romney and the "47%" comment).

Fucking Ontarians. It's all their fault.
