As Presidential candidates blaze the campaign trail, this election their attracting a new crowd.

Students at the University of South Alabama and across the country are weighing in on who they'd like to see as the next President of the United States.
With candidates using websites like MySpace, Youtube and Facebook, young voters are taking interest.
It's a message politicians hope will drive young voters to the polls this November.
"I know for a fact I have facebook, I have myspace and you know people are on it all the time and I think it's a big impact, Said Nicholas Scherrill, a student at USA.
Meantime other students say they just can't decide who to vote for. "Listening to Hilary Clinton, she seems to be all over the place really and I know she can't possibly fill all of her promises," Said John Maher, another student we spoke with on campus.
While others say, it's a choice young voters should take advantage of. "They're gonna be there for the next 4 years so you know you want to have the best person as president so, "Said one student.

The Presidential Primary race comes to an end June 7th.

Youth vote scares me noing that a young person can swing in so many different direction while coming threw there early years. To be cool because some one or group says it is the right thing to do. Hopefuly most can listen to both sides of a candidate and what is best for the country and what needs to be done to keep it safe. Voteing is the main thing. Do not vote and you have no say.
