I agree with you... to a point. The 2008 election energized segment of voters that don't normally vote. Some of them will probably never vote again, but particularly for the younger generation, it changed their view of politics for the rest of their lives. Because we elected the first minority president, I am of the belief that we have changed the voting population... more minorities will be voting in future elections now.
