The Forgotten Demographic

The Daily Beast reports on a demographic group largely overlooked in discussions of electoral politics: seniors. The author claims seniors, not Hispanics, are the fastest growing group of voters. And it is a group that, in recent elections, has turned out in large numbers and voted for Republicans.

The Daily Beast, as an arm of the MSM, tries hard to find some good news for Dems in this. I'm not convinced they succeed, but you are welcome to draw your own conclusions on that question.

One thing is indisputable - we seniors vote in large numbers. No group turns out a greater percentage of its eligible voters.
