I'm 51, I live in Hollywood, and I voted for Barack Obama. So did my partner, Lynn, who's 48.
On our block are Sue, who is 71, and Jane, ditto.
Both voted for Hillary. I was curious all through the primary season what they were thinking at every step. I never tried to persuade them to vote differently---that would really be patronizing of me, twenty years their junior.
(A couple of times I vented here, but never with them.)
(BTW, these two women look, act and work as though they're---well, at max 51, because they both look, act, and work much better than me.)
This past week, I've run into both of them on the street. I have asked both of them:
"Are you OK with Obama?"
