I gather that the flood is already beginning, from Hillary’s side to Obama’s in New Hampshire. Something ought to be said about the fickleness of the babyboomers. We’re vain and we don’t really have a lot to show for ourselves, as a generation. Now we’re spending a lot of money on anti-aging cream and Viagra and Rolling Stone tickets. I.e., we’re death-deniers, and are stuck in our glorious adolescence, the 70s. Eros, not thanatos.
Yesterday Russert pointed out that Obama is drawing huge from people under 50 and Hillary from people over 50. When boomers hear that, it’s over. They don’t want the political equivalent of an AARP card. They will go where the young people are going. It’s over.
