I read your recent post on the Corner regarding the West Virginia rally for Obama, and I was not surprised about the relative ignorance of the young people regarding this story. I am a professor of political science at a state university. When I tried to incorporate the controversy/speech into a segment on elections, I was stunned to find out that only 16 students out of nearly 100 were familiar with the issue and had watched/read the speech OR seen news coverage of it.
