If Bush had lost, I would have heard about it. Big Time. But I will not go down the Gloat Road. Not with my folks. They know better, deep down, I believe in their heart of hearts they know better. I cannot explain their behaviour, except to say they are Baby Boomers who were cared for all their lives by well-meaning but misguided WWII generation parents and parents-in-laws. Coming of age in the 1960s, they never really "got it", and after all these years they still refuse--willingly, I believe and am sad to say--to vote the way they know they should.
I can identify with your problems relating to your parents, but my experience is different....I'm the raised in the 60's child who eventually "saw the light" and embraced conservatism. But, in deference to my Union Leader father, I have never had the heart to change my registration from Democrat to Republican, even though I NEVER vote Democrat....old habits die hard! Don't want to think about my beloved father turning over in his grave!!
Coming of age in the 1960s
We are both Boomers.

My wife and our good friends came of age in the 1960's and never followed the lunatic lib Baby Boomer trail of whining losers. The whining losers we have weeded out of our lives got on that Baby Boomer Trail of Whining Losers and have never left it.
