5. I can understand that "Clinton voters don’t show up at rallies so much."

A large percentage of women, especially older voters, just can't do rallies... been there, done that, 20-30 years ago. If we aren't as passionate, maybe it's because we know from our own youthful exuberance that passion, while hot and spectacularly satisfying, all too quickly burns itself out in a splutter, but that steady perseverance keeps going.

Admittedly, the social networking scene just isn't as enjoyable as facetime or a personal conversation among like minded friends, and my 'wall' is just something that needs painting. If we have less (or no) money to pump into the already insanely expensive political campaigns, our intentions are the same and we really do believe in the importance of voting.
