Luke Russert on Young Voters

This week the Today Show showed a segment about young voters created by Luke Russert. Russert went to UVA and interviewed students and professors to figure out the political climate on college campuses. The collection of interviews showed to national viewers that the youth vote is up, and added that the election is in the youths' hands (35 and under). Luke made an interesting remark during his recap with Matt Lauer. Matt asked if the students at UVA are a fair analysis of the rest of the state or country. Luke responded with: "you have to remember the smartest kids in the state go there so they are leaning a little bit more towards Obama." Is this the elitist media talking? Will McCain supporters look down on the media for belittling their intellect because they are not supporting Obama?
