Have older folks gone Republican? | Arkansas News

John Brummett ponders why seniors shifted their votes in 2008 to the GOP. They have generally supported the Dems because of Social Security and Medicare. But seniors now tend to vote Republican. Why? Brummett has his opinion, but I think the reason was health care reform, which was financed in part by cuts in Medicare. This issue hit seniors hard.
