Youth vote1?! I have a friend, 58 year old, widowed, white, college educated, woman, who has voted Republican since Carter. She voted for Obama and her reason “I have always loved black people and it’s time they had a chance.” When I shreiked “are you crazy?”; she got defensive and replied “well, it was my vote and if I was wrong, this won’t be the first time nor the last.”
I didn’t even ask about her two adult children, I’m sure they voted as she did. She has lost it since her husband died.
That would be the “bitter single female” demographic that is the democrats’ most reliable voting block.
They always vote for the “substitute husband”.
A lot of my parents friends who usually voted Republican voted for Obama. When queried as to why they really couldn’t articulate a reason, just mumbled something about “health care” and “change”.
Wait until they realize that Obongo’s health care plan is to stick seniors like them out on an ice floe to die.
