I hate to say it, but I think the seniors did have a lot to do with Romney’s win, especially older women.
They vote faithfully and he targeted them in a big way. I think he’s creepy looking, but they actually thought he was handsome (one of their criteria for voting, apparently) and just such a nice young man.
And he scared them about Medicare and SS; we may think Obamacare/Romneycare is completely undesirable, but a lot of these people actually want it.
My grandmother said that is going to vote for Romney, for that very reason.
Did I try to talk her out of it? You don't know my Grandmother. :-)
Strange, she's usually pretty commonsensical when it comes to politics. For instance I've never heard my grandmother curse before, but not too long ago when we were discussing Hillary!, and the fact that she might challenge Obama, she called Hillary, quote, "That Evil B*tch", unquote. Was enough to snap my head around and take notice.
Their aged baby boomers with entitlement mentalities.
