Lieberman is your father’s Democrat – you know, the patriotic kind that liked taxes a bit more than his elephantine brethren. But, in times of war, it was hard to really tell the difference between parties. There is a reason the retired set votes Dem virtually 60/40. They grew up in an era where you never questioned Dems or Repubs loyalty to their country. Many of my clients are senior lifelong Dems and in recent discussions they are sick to death (and scared) of Obama and will pull the R lever in 2010 as they did in 80′ and in 94′. Bank it, this healthcare SNAFU (despite the AARP endorsement) is scaring the elderly away from the Dems in droves! Hell, I wonder how many boomerang grads begin to question their liege lord O’ as they spend their umpteenth month in the guest room in Dad’s finished basement with no job?
