    @ AKA Smith

    As to why on earth you think I should vote in a certain way to appease voters who are in their twenties, I can't imagine. That is not voting my interests. My interests and that of many women my age is health care and Social Security. Ha!

    Actually, I've almost never vote for my direct interests. Though I'm certainly not wise enough to always get it right, I vote for what I perceive as the entire country's best interest.

    Call it corny, but I think that's our duty as citizens.
