Super Tuesday primaries didn't involve Nebraska, still the presidential candidates were the focus of a gathering in Omaha as young voters continue to be drawn to the campaign.

A group of Creighton students held their own political party Tuesday night. “I’m definitely the political nerd,” said student Kristina Smith. “This is definitely more exciting than the Super Bowl or Fat Tuesday."

A few dozen political science majors kept their eyes on the TV and their mouths in support of their favorite candidates. “I'm really definitely waiting to see how things turn out,” said student John Zimmer. “I'm kind of pulling for McCain on the Republican side and Clinton on the Democratic side because I think he can beat her."

“Barack Obama, he's so different, he's so fresh, he's like the new generation of politics, I think," said student Andrew Bakke.

This generation believes something is a little different this time around. “Usually everybody tells me to shut up when I talk about politics, but now they're getting involved too," said Bakke.

“It's the first time in history that you see the youth really mobilized," said Smith.

It's also the first time Democrats in Nebraska will caucus, which is something their professor plans to do. “To have it when the races are still open makes it even more interesting," says Creighton political science professor Sue Crawford.

Who knows, one of these young minds could end up becoming the topic of a future Super Tuesday, say in the year 2028. “I would love to be president," said Bakke.

Several of the students said they're also excited to vote in their first presidential election.
