Comments on: New Poll: Obama Struggling With Older Women Voters http://womensvoicesforchange.org/new-poll-obama-struggling-with-older-women-voters.htm Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:40:09 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Sherri http://womensvoicesforchange.org/new-poll-obama-struggling-with-older-women-voters.htm/comment-page-1#comment-2526 Sherri Tue, 29 Jul 2008 00:37:16 +0000 http://womensvoicesforchange.org/new-poll-obama-struggling-with-older-women-voters.htm#comment-2526 I just don't get it. Why would older women voters who supported Hillary Clinton ever vote for John McCain? McCain represents the exact opposite values that these courageous women struggled for over their life times. Why would they want to set the women's movement back even further with a continuation of the Republican's in power? Being from a slightly younger generation than the 65+ demographic (I'm 47..the same age as Barack Obama), please do not vote against my interests and my years of striving to get ahead. Your daughters and granddaughters need you to support that candidate who best represents our values. That is Barack Obama. Please...think very seriously about this before casting your ballot for John McCain. I just don’t get it. Why would older women voters who supported Hillary Clinton ever vote for John McCain?

I have an "Older White Woman for Barack Obama" bumper sticker on my van and have filled requests for at least a dozen more. I live in a very small usually Republican leaning village and find it hard to believe our Obama support is very different from other areas.

"Fair and balanced" effort on part of WVFC? Many of us over 65 know that our daughters, granddaughters will suffer from a Republican presidency that is economically inept and opposed to every significant healthcare issue--from Choice to Social Security. Please explain. Thanks, naomi Is there some reason unknowable to me that this site continues the drumbeat outlined here with an array of dizzying stats?
