Does McCain Connect With Young Voters?

Young conservatives are worried that Sen. John McCain is not appealing to their generation.

Many young Republicans indicate that Sen. Barack Obama -- the 46-year-old junior senator from Illinois -- is inspiring voters their age, but McCain -- the 71-year-old senator who has been in office since the early '80s -- is not.

One factor that has emerged is that McCain does not understand the importance of the internet. On MySpace, Obama has more than 427,000 friends, compared with less than 60,000 for McCain. Also, McCain has admitted he doesn't use e-mail.

In the upcoming presidential election, McCain must work to connect with young voters.
