Unfortunately, Eugene lost because of his age. Rich baby boomer home owner just ain't gonna vote for the younglin's. And probably less than 1500 people under 25 voted in this election. Age is a big problem for getting elected to a city council, which the voters take must be soneone that mirros them.
However, Eugene is part of this community, so you see a future leader here. Running the Boulder County AIDs project will endear him to this town and county, so he has a future in liberal politics.
While running for city council requires that the candidate mirror in age, income, and values that of the voter, the voters would love Eugene in the legislature. Hint: Run for the state house in 2010. Guaranteed win.
