GOV. ROMNEY DECLINES PARTICIPATION: In June both President Obama and Gov. Romney were invited in the hope they would both take this opportunity to address millions of young people about the issues that are most important to them. Unfortunately, despite our efforts over a four-month period, Gov. Romney declined participation. He is the first and only candidate in our 16-year history to decide not to answer the questions young Americans chose as most important through the Presidential Youth Debate. With Millennials being the nation’s largest potential voting bloc, we’re still very much hoping Gov. Romney might change his mind and provide his responses via video or even as text anytime before Nov. 6th, so young Americans can cast an even more informed ballot in the Election

Just so you know
the majority of the people who contributed questions to the Presidential Youth Debate are 18-34
so yes they're voting age

Makes sense. I heard young people tend to like Obama.

Why would he not go?
I mean if he does it right its free brownie points
there are some suckers in that age group
I mean how he could possibly embrass himself in front of young people

Young people tend to pay more attention to the internet, so they might ask some more bother questions that Romney can't answer comfortably.

Lol, I'm not surprised. The only younger folks who share his views are ones raised by the equally old-fashioned/bigoted older generations.
