1. Umm Other, Nobody is too old
The government makes decissions that effect senior citizens (especially those with low incomes) a GREAT deal.

2. Depends on the individual...
same as everyone else. Some people just have more stamina, are healthier and have a young outlook...while others are the opposite.

Cheney is not that old, but he looks, acts and talks like a much older man than he is. On the other hand, John Edwards looks like he's about 38 years old.

everyone was interpreting it differently. You need to relabel the poll more clearly.

6. what an odd question. No one is too old
Seniors are the most politically engaged, regular voters in America. My 95 year old grandfather died two days before the Nov 2 election, but he had managed to get his absentee vote filled out will he was still conscious. When I visited with him, he noted that it had been especially important to vote in this election. We sent his ballot in just a few days before he died. He caste his last vote in life for John Kerry.

No one's voting rights should ever be take away, for age, race, religion, gender, or any other excuse.
