This really makes no sense. The whole article is crap. It was something for a desperate news day with nothing to write about...I know..I have been there, today included.

But wow. The article even admits Obama himself is a Boomer.

You forget Generation Jones, which is more conservative than either the early boomer or the X'ers. Gen. Jones delivered the biggest margin of votes to Bush of any age demographic in the 2000 election.

Here is the wikipedia entry Generation Jones

Sadly, Obama himself is a member of this generation. Here is an article on Generation Jones in the Election of 2008

Here is a short except describing GenJones:

• Dec 18, 2008 - “ Members of Generation Jones…were too young to really experience the tumult of the 1960s, though some of them were around to see it…Obama's peers were defined by Watergate, stagflation, gas lines and 20% interest rates… Their cultural touchstones were groups like the Carpenters and Steely Dan (on cassette or eight-track tapes, of course)… in Hawaii, young Barry Obama was tuning into "Soul Train"… They tend to be…more pragmatic and a lot less likely to get bogged down by the shibboleths of the 1960s, according to historians, marketers and pollsters.”

Hillary vs. Obama was Boomer vs. Jones
McCain vs. Obama was Silent Generation vs. Generation Jones
