Shit. Hillary Lost My Grandma. And My Grandma Already Voted For Her.

[THUNDER HANDS]

I got word this morning that my grandmother has switched from Hillary to Obama. Apparently she can't stand Hillary anymore after her comments and debate performances the past two weeks. Apparently she's just "getting on her nerves."

Now she's in the Obama camp.

Just some background on my grandma.

She's 80 years old. Jewish. Sister of one of the biggest veterans-affairs officials in Maryland. Proudly has photos of Bill Clinton and Al Gore up in her home. Lifelong Democrat. Tells me stories all the time of crying in the streets when JFK was shot. Has a lot of cats.

She voted for Hillary during the New York primary a few weeks ago. Now she doesn't want to have anything more to do with her.

If Hillary lost my grandma, she's lost.

No Democrat since FDR has ever won the White House without the support of my grandma. I know that for a fact. :D

5. Magic Rat, please give your grandma a big hug from me!

6. I hope she is not buying the media spin. That can be very misleading

[blm]

22. I hope more Dems would read National Security Archives and THAT would stop Clintons' hold

on their support.

Why on earth would ANY Democrat want to see the protection of BushInc and its agenda protected for another ten years as Clinton did throughout the 90s.

23. My mother is 86

[THUNDER HANDS]

9. i don't know, i haven't talked to her yet

I was just getting the info relayed to me by my father (her son). I'll see if I can find out more specifically later.

But she's not the type of person who likes fighting. She's very old Jewish grandmotherly like that. :)

10. Good to hear!

Obama supporters ought to fully friendly with Clinton supporters who have given up on her desperate acts and have decided to support Obama.

Let us ALL HOPE that this nasty race will end before or right after Texas.

IT IS OVER CLINTON!

And my mom supports Obama, and she's going to vote for him in the Ohio primary. I take this very seriously.

28. Sorry I missed what you said could you repeat that.

21. hmmmmmmm ...

"No Democrat since FDR has ever won the White House without the support of my grandma. I know that for a fact."

Well, she already voted for her in the primary. Are you saying she won't support HRC if she's the Dem. nominee?

[K Gardner]

24. Let's get her fitted for a robe, quick ! She'll need one for the Inauguration ! Go Gramma !

25. It's so cool when people evolve..

we can all have preconceived notions about what we like but sometimes the more we're exposed to it.. we have to ask ourselves.. "What was I thinking?"

[ForeignSpectator]

26. Magic Rat, glad your grandma is fine, I swear when I read "I got word this morning..."

I was afraid this post was going another way... And how cool to have your own "one-person-poll", the most reliable since FDR... Best wishes!

27. God bless your grandma. Give her a big kiss and hug from team Obama.
