Seniors vote because they have a bigger stake than young people; they have property as Rand Paul likes, and they have children, grandchildren, and sometimes great-grandchildren to protect. Older people's interests are much more affected by what politicians do, so they feel more compelled to engage.Elections come down to those who show up. Republicans have been a minority in this country, but they pandered to the ones who usually show up recently. This time around, that particular group is pretty pissed off. And aside from those who don't like "colored people" many of them are concerned about their medicare and social security and the republicans haven't been doing themselves any favors on those fronts lately. We'll see. In truth, weather Obama wins will all come down to two states: Ohio and Florida. He will likely lose all the traditionally red-leaning swing states; I don't see him carrying VA, NC, or IN this time around, but a win in OH and FL would make having the other states unnecessary. |
