Reply #49: Not Nixon but Reagan and Bush

[indie_voter]

I was born in 1964, technically the last year of the boomer demo. For that matter, Obama is technically a boomer, born in 1961, but he like those of us born in last few years of the 50s and early 60s are cusp, we were too young to be part of the defining moments of the boomer generation, though we were alive for many of them.

I was 16 when Reagan beat Carter (1980), 2 years too young to cast my vote for Carter. I was old enough in 1984 to vote. So boomers can't distance themselves from Reagan (twice) and Bush Sr, most were old enough to vote.

The majority of the boomer demo were old enough to vote in the 1980 (Reagan vs Carter), only those of us born in the later part of 1962, 1963 and 1964 couldn't.
