No kidding about that, my grandma had a picture of kerry and edwards on her fridge for the last few months of the campaign. She thinks they're swell. She is a Roosevelt democrat and doesn't understand what that party has become.
Because it was ol' granny, I dealt with it, but if it was one of my pals I would have run screaming from the house.
I am lucky. Most all the old people I'm around quit being democrats when either LBJ or Carter was in office. The rest bailed out when Clinton was in.
