Islamofascist? He kills babies? I don't get what you are looking for here... most charismatic politicians can get away with doing pretty much anything (look at our former President Clinton). The best thing I can say about America's young is that they don't vote most of the time. While they may vote in slightly larger numbers this election, I don't think it will be enough to matter significantly.
And being the most liberal senator is not a big feather in your cap when it comes to moderates (whom the democrats actually won in 2004). I think with either Obama or Clinton as an opponent McCain can win that middle ground. The question that seems pertinent to me is how much of that far right will stay home, and how much of that democratic base will come out.
