Rearing its ugly head
"The exit polls have shown, the Democratic primary is turning into a battle between the people that pay for Social Security and those that collect it."
Instapundit via First Friday Collective
A sobering and non-partisan article from Megan McArdle in the Atlantic about how retiring Baby Boomers will change the texture of society in ways we’ve scarcely begun to contemplate.
This is why Hillary won't lose in 2008 and why open borders will follow her inauguration. It also explains the popularity of candidates Ron Paul (disclaimer: I think his supporters are absolutely batty) and Senator Barrack Obama. It explains why the GOP is splintering (See Here comes Housing Czarina Hillary to the rescue by Malkin as example). These are heady days for DEMS and one of the reasons Nancy is hiding (lest she reminds the country what will happen when DEMS control all three branches of government).
Finally, has there ever been a better quote to describe Hillary Clinton?
"You must give the Boomers credit: their uncanny ability to focus solely on themselves, approvingly, appears undiminished by age."
And this one from NRO is also priceless:
"While she kept saying, in her victory speech, some variant of "my heart is full" five or six times, I half expected the Sally Field Oscar acceptance: "you love me. You really love me." The new, more human Hillary is going to grate in the opposite direction, I fear."

"The political battles over all of this will be bitter, and they will probably be, too often, won by the retirees, who vote in force (though not always as a bloc). Those same retirees may also vote against things that are actually in their interest—thus shutting out the immigrants who could help them stay at home, and out of the nursing home, longer; turning down school taxes that could create a more productive workforce to support them; fighting for zoning restrictions that make it harder for the low-income workers who provide their services to live within easy commuting distance."Limestone Commentary
