My grandma passed away a couple weeks ago. She was lifelong democrat but we talked politics often and actually came around to supporting Ron after seeing him in the debates. I suppose her priorities were probably not what a stereotypical 85 year olds are; she liked Ron because he wanted to bring the troops home, end the drug war, and his stance against racial profiling. I think a lot of older voters care about the same things we care about, they just have a harder time seeing thru the BS in the MSM.
