“Part of the problem is the Boomer generation, once control of the GOP is wrested away from their cold dead fingers.”
Boomer Palin is wresting power from silent generation McCain.
Palin is not exactly a boomer, born in 64 this is where the boom ended and Gen X began. Many of us born in the mid 60’s consider ourselves a “lost generation” because we do not fit comfortably into either the Boomers or the Gen-Xers and identify with neither. Palin came of age in the Reagan era and does not identify with the Boomer generation.
Bush and Clinton (Gore and Kerry) are all quintessential boomers.
Obama (b. 1961) is at the tail end of the Boomer generation and his associations with the radicals of 60’s (when he was an oblivious eight year old) cements his identification with that generation. He’s their last gasp (I hope and pray) at their failed revolution.
Those that come after, the X, Y and Z generations know we have been handed the sh*tty end of the stick.
