Is this excerpt

Older voters were particularly concerned about generational-high inflation, threats to democracy and challenges facing Social Security and Medicare programs.

About two-thirds said they were more likely to back a candidate who supports shielding Medicare from budget cuts and allowing the government program to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices.


So why are they backing Walker? Doesn’t make sense

Hated Reagen with a passion.

In the late 80s started watching CNN hard core.

In the mid 90s began to migrate to FOX

By 2004 was embarrassed by Howard Dean and Democrats,

Why does Walker, a college-educated man, speak as though he's feeding Georgia Republicans some of worst stereotypes up Black men?

He went to college to play football, and left college (without graduating) to play pro football.

Unfortunately, especially in the football-crazy parts of the country, all-too-many college football players major in off-tackle sweeps and not much else.

I can't imagine anyone voting for poor, brain-damaged Herschel. Running him was a cruel joke on the part of the rePukes.

Focus on getting everyone out to the voter box.
If people see favorable polls they might think it is in the bag and not bother.
Better to just believe it is going to be very close and every vote counts.
