THE YOUNG AND THE (STILL) LISTLESS.

This article offers commentary on the attitudes of younger voters in the United States concerning the U.S. presidential election of 2000. The article author attempts to explore whether the interest generated by the nail-biting, knock-down post-election fight between the presidential candidates, George W. Bush and Al Gore, will bring an end to the political ennui among young adults any- time soon. The unparalleled drama of this wackiest of elections seems unlikely to generate any lasting engagement by young voters. Even before the election, polls showed that young voters remain deeply suspicious of politicians. Now, with the legal wrangling stretching on well past a week, chances are young voters' disenchantment with politicians will only increase.
