For the same reason why Gary Hart and Howard Dean lost them. Most (not all) young kids (under 25) lack the ability to see the big picture. Their interest in politics is only skin deep, and they tend to only focus on the here and now if you can get them to focus at all. If it becomes apparent that Obama is steaming head on towards defeat most of them will go back to worrying which song to download to their Ipod next.
