It Ain't Over

I just found the most excellent site, Home.Gather.Com, from a PA Democratic email. By Carol LeHane
The Iowa caucus also revealed another divide that could go against Obama in particular, because he was the one who raised the idea of a generational gap as a means of appealing to youthful voters and the media has played it up. I'm not dead yet and neither is the approximately thirty percent of the population that is over the age of fifty. If Obama continues to use an opponent being older than he is as a reason to vote for him it will backfire and show that he is not the unifier he claims to be, but just another product of the Chicago political machine that Richard Daly built, and that machine still has it in for the WWII baby boomers even though they are now far from being babies. Sound reminiscent of bad memories?

Everybody who saw the coverage of 1968 Democratic convention has those bad memories and what happened there was the beginning of the political reform that was never completed. The sixties produced a lot reform and change that never fully achieved the aims of that generation. I wonder if Obama's idea of change will include ending the insanity of having a couple of small states having an unjustifiable influence on the selection of Presidents of the United States.
