Boomers!= over 45 group.
As for Catholics, they voted for Bush.
“because you want them to vote republican in such huge margins as to overcome that youth vote”
Uh, I stated that 55-45 would be sufficient to make Obama unelectable.
You believe that this is wrong of me to expect the Boomer generation to vote 55-45 against Obama in 2012?
Polls are only in agreement of Catholics having voted Republican three times in our history, an additional three times are disputed, 2004 is one of those that is disputed, we do know that Catholics voted against Bush in 2000, and for Obama in 2008. Catholics are a Democrat voting block, and destined to become more so as the over 45 Catholics are replaced by younger ones.
What you don’t understand is that if the under 45 year old vote had been 50/50, or even only slightly pro Obama, then Obama would have lost, instead Obama took the Gen Y vote by 66%.
The race in 2012 will be to see if the older voters can overcome that huge Obama love among the young.
Your constant defense of that 66% Obama vote and your seeming hopes for it’s continued growth in the future is astounding, you actually look forward to that Obama youth vote taking over.
