I find it interesting that the elderly FDR Democratic voters are not being polled or if they are, their positions are certainly not being taunted this go-a-round. Since I have a limited number of friends and relatives who are in their 80’s, my information is not very scientific.

Not a one of the 8 I know who are over 80 will vote for Mr. Obama. 3 have volunteered that they have never voted for a Republican before. I can remember when this group was a much talked about demographic in the Democratic Party; the ones who were told the Republicans would take away their SS and they voted solidly for Democrats. These FDR Democrats would have voted for Mrs. Clinton but not Mr. Obama.

I wonder how widespread this is within that supposedly reliable Democratic demographic.
