Serious question here. Can you possibly provide "the" definition of "Baby Boomer"?

I always thought it was the generation of babies born after the GI's returned from WWII. I always have thought I was the quintessential "Baby Boomer" - born in 1946 and graduated High School in 1964 when you were born.

If we are of the same generation then we should indeed have great political clout.

You understand it as I do. Those born between 1946 and 1964, born in the baby “boom” after WWII. (Couples had a lot of catching up to do.;))

And you are right there is great political clout. As of 2005, according to the US Census Bureau, there were 78.2 million Boomers in the U.S.. That's a LOT of clout...
