http://redbluerichpoor.com/blog/?p=206 Check out chart #3 and look at the drop amongst youth. wow. That's HUGE bad news. You make a good point that people become "more conservative" as they age, but I don't know that that term means anything anymore. Right now "conservative" seems to mean predominantly "social conservative" and people don't become more socially conservative, they become more fiscally conservative. Bush was fiscally liberal especially compared to Clinton. If Obama continues Clinton's track record, then the Democrats might become the home of fiscal conservatives. I know I am and I know I voted Democrat. I also think that's why the chart shows people over $100k and $200k going for Obama (chart #2) In other words, Republican=social-conservative right now and that's the opposite of me so if that's the new Republican party they lost me, my wife, and everyone on chart #2. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:279456 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
