Fogies: Ready to Lead

Katherine Mangu-Ward | October 13, 2008

Birds of a feather flock together, and the oldsters love Sen. John McCain. Pew Research Center reports:

"Among older registered voters (those aged 65 and older) John McCain has widen[ed] his lead over by Barack Obama to 48%-to-35% margin; he led among these voters by only 5 points in early September (45% to 40%)."

Maybe the shift is in the demographic that remembers the Depression, and wants someone in office who does too?
