are so strong for Hillary that it more than makes up the difference. Even though it looks like Hillary will win Indiana, I like the idea that Obama is the future...carrying all voters under 65 has got to be a good sign for superdelegates.

1. I agree with you.
Also adding that I'm going to be very interested in seeing the polling showing: Did you vote for Hillary, will you vote for her in November.

5. You're right. I think Operation Chaos definitely came into play & they will vote McCain in Nov.
Superdelegates will pay attention to that, too.

6. Obama tanking among the most reliable constituency is a good sign for superdelegates?

8. thankfully, that demo is shrinking due to natural attrition
Hillary has all the old white people in her corner because old white people are the last to give up their Jim Crow ideas. People who graduated from all white high schools still tend to think they're better than blacks. Find whites who graduated before 1966 from high school, and you'll find them 3-1 for Hillary, if not more.

17. Pft, a DUer in favor of carousel just so BHO can sit in the oval office?
Is that a 'progressive' position? Cause it doesn't sound all that liberal = welcome to The Brand Spanking New World Order http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTGvY5Vs998

18. Pft yourself
Natural attrition. I realize reading comprehension escapes you, but really, the words do matter.

Only our nation's "seasoned citizens" matter.

16. I have found in speaking to people in that age group
there is a MAJOR divide between me and them. We have nothing really in common. I will turn 60 this November.

Maybe us boomers really are that different?

15. Maybe they still believe that the newsmedia is a fair broker. The rest of us know how broken it is.
In my neck of the woods I know a number of the over 60 crowd who believe the newsmedia is FULL OF SHIT and fascist as it can get.
