You can say whatever you want about the original music-video channel, but in recent years they have engaged in a vigorous and clever campaign to get young people involved in the political process.

Tomorrow is the New Hampshire gubernatorial primary.
Politicians have made their pitches to the people during the past several months, and, unlike so many elections, each of the candidates has clearcut differences. There is something for everyone, even with the last minute withdrawal of Republican Fred Bramante. Recent polls have shown Democratic Gov. Jeanne Shaheen and former U.S. Sen. Gordon Humphrey, a Republican, pulling ahead of their respective packs. This development has, unfortunately, led some people to speculate that voter turnout will be light. They probably will be right.
