The trend fits conventional wisdom for the election year, with excitement for the election season coming from older, white voters—a demographic that tends to be conservative.

The next enemy of the left: old white folks.

“The next enemy of the left: old white folks.”

Next? Who do you think the ObamaCare money was taken from? I thought that was publicized when they were asked how they’d pay for it (cuts in Medicare).

The left will euthanize/neglect the elderly to free the next generation (and Social Security, Medicare) from the cost of their care (and re-distribute it to the perpetually government-dependent); when the Kenyan Pirate talked about the costs of caring for a person in the last few months of their life (which is what started the whole “death panel” row), this is exactly what he was talking about.

I’d hope there are enough retirees still voting to make them eat their words; they are in the crosshairs of the Democrats (after a comment like that, who really wants old people to die?).

David Yepsen, the director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, said Thursday “this is something new in Illinois politics so it’s a little difficult to read tea leaves.”

Interesting choice of words.

Why should they? Their votes have already been arranged by the “Democrats”, whether they approve or not.

Once again, black voters have been disenfranchised. /s

“The higher turnout among affluent voters could mean those residents have more free time to go to the polls early, he said.”

Dream on, Yepsen. The white middle class Cook County voter is mad as hell and not going to take in anymore....

I'm starting to get a tingle up my leg. I'm thinking this is the beginning of a devastating trend for the Dems this election cycle.

And as far as old white folks, they became the enemy as soon as Obama took office. ObamaCare is the mechanism that would reduce elderly longevity.

Low counts? Isn’t that why they are called “minorities”?
