Obama’s support among young voters is cratering. Not only are they less likely to vote at all in 2012 than in 2008, their affinity for Obama is no higher that it was for John Kerry. Adding to the bad news, young Romney voters are much more likely to vote than young Obama voters.

In today’s New York Times, Ross Douthat tries to understand why the Obama regime has lied so shamelessly and incoherently over the attacks on our Benghazi consulate.
