MIAMI — MIAMI- Former president Bill Clinton had an enthusiastic college crowd of about 600 at his feet Thursday morning and told them what the political experts were saying about them.

He said predictions are that as many as 55 percent of young people who voted in 2008 —and helped elect President Barack Obama -- will not vote this time. Clinton imagined such a young person saying they had "something else to do on Election Day."

"Like heck you do," he shouted at the crowd.
