Dems got the under 30 voters except in Florida

 Daily Wire:

Democrats scored big with young voters around the nation in Tuesday night’s midterm elections, but one state bucked the trend and its standard bearer, not surprisingly, won in a landslide.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who defeated Charlie Crist by 20 percentage points to win re-election, led his party to victory with a stunning 49% of the vote in the 18-29 age group. The strong performance helped Sen. Marco Rubio and a host of GOP House candidates and statewide officials swamp Democrats in the Sunshine State, which was considered a battleground state just four years ago. The GOP’s share of the young vote in Florida dwarfed the party’s performance elsewhere.

“The national youth vote choice for the U.S. House of Representatives was 63% for Democrats, 35% for Republicans,” the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) reported, citing exit polls. “That’s almost identical to 2020, when youth preferred Democrats to Republicans by 62% to 36%, and a small shift in favor of Republicans from the previous midterm: in 2018, the youth vote between Democrats and Republicans was 67% to 32%—which was the largest margin ever for Democrats among young voters.”

The Florida GOP’s portion of the key demographic was up nine percentage points over the 2018 midterms, when DeSantis was first elected governor, according to an AP VoteCast survey. Democrats’ share of Florida’s 18-29 vote dropped 14 percentage points to 44% over the same period.

In comparison, in Pennsylvania 54% of the youth vote went for Democrats in 2022 while only 43% for Republicans. The Democrats only lost five points from 2018 while the GOP gained four points. The younger vote heavily influenced the Keystone State’s close Senate election with 70% of voters aged 18-29 choosing Democrat John Fetterman over Republican Mehmet Oz.

In Georgia, the youth vote was 54%-43% Democrats over Republicans, with the Democrats losing eight points and the GOP gaining the same amount since 2018. In Arizona, the Democratic margin was a whopping 57%-38%, with the Democrats having lost five points since 2018 and the GOP gaining five points.
...

I suspect this is also the result of an education system that is mainly run by Democrats in most states.  That is something that the GOP needs to deal with.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
