The Millennials’ Moment: Why 2014 Does Matter

When Senator Barack Obama was elected in 2008 with a majority vote over Republican Senator John McCain, he was heralded as a possibly transformational President -- potentially in the same category as Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. I know that argument well. I was one of the pundits making the case. It seemed very simple then: like his two iconic predecessors, Mr. Obama's election created a new demographic coalition, one so radically different than before and one that would surely dominate the national landscape for at least a generation. Not only did he receive the solid majority of Hispanics, African Americans, and Asian Americans, but he was dominant among younger voters and the growing - strategically located - Creative Class.
