2. Old farts are McCain's bread and butter

Last gasp, maybe?

[ClarkUSA]

9. There are plenty of great "Old Farts for Obama," too.

Let's not forget that. I have a feeling that given time and more of the "McCain is a liar" meme,
more and more of them will turn to Obama by Election Day.

[Libby2]

4. Hmm, the old farts I know are for Obama.

As damn well they should be.

6. Me too. My 77 year old parents are strongly for Obama

They say that none of their friends are for McCain. And they live in AZ. :thumbsup:

All of the Repubs that I know are middle aged.

7. My 55 year old Mom is for Obama! My dad of 58 just started supporting McCain

because of Sarah Palin! Ugh!

Imagine the shock I got when I found that my dad (who used to be as passionate as Obama as I) told me he's supporting McCain just because of Palin!

Unless they are a retired Vanderbilt.
