If this has been discussed or if this link has been posted, sorry. I don't work much, but for the last few days I've been doing some contract work and working 12 hour days. Poor old man...and on that, go here:
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/ron-paul-won-all-age-brackets-under-40-iowa-caucuses-says-entrance-poll
Here is my take:
1. Age 21 to 40: More independent than any other age bracket. Lots of Ron Paul support. Maybe approaching 50%. Of the people in this age group that I personally know, a majority, a big majority are Ron Paul supporters. Few in this age group identify with the republican or democrat parties.
2. Age 41 to 59: This is where you find the liberals (really just democrats.) They are fanatical supporters of Obama and the democrat party. To this bunch, Ron Paul is an evil racist. To criticize Obama is ipso facto racist. Little independent thinking here.
3. Age 60 and up: Someone in a thread here wrote that this age group is worthless. I have to agree. Overwhelmingly republican, religiously so. FOX news watchers, they go down on republican opinion like ducks on June bugs. They are not all Christians, but mostly so. Even the non-Christians in this group are mostly incapable of independent thinking.

As for me...I'm 66, nearing 67. Rounder is 71. We are different...why, I don't know.
