Candidates’ ads directed at youth

Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry tried to step up his appeal to young voters by taking out ads in 20 college newspapers across the country in late April as a part of his youth voter outreach campaign.

Likewise, the Kerry campaign also has Web sites devoted to students, complete with weblogs and campus organizations such as Students for Kerry.

Young celebrity sponsors like Blink-182's Tom DeLonge and the rock band, Guster, round out Kerry's youth campaign.
