In a sign of the times...

...my 89-year old mother hasn't voted for a Democrat for President since Harry Truman in 1948, sixty years ago. She voted for Eisenhower twice, Nixon three times (even against fellow Irish Catholic John F. Kennedy), Goldwater (!), Ford, Reagan twice, George H. W. Bush twice, Dole, and George W. Bush twice.

Who did Mom vote for this year? Barack Obama.
