Senior citizens, who typically make up about one in five midterm voters, represent a particularly valuable but tough audience on this issue

The Mid-term election will be very difficult for incumbents with the excited Senior citizen crowd coming out in force. With 20% of the vote, they are the election makers/breakers. The Health care issue will certainly be a difficult position for many legislators going up for another term. Since the minority party usual gains in mid-terms and with a excited elctorate it will be interesting. In this peice, "About half of respondents (49 percent) said Obama won't be a factor in their vote in November", the "Obama factor" will not play into the elections. Those with quality candadate will be in jepordy.
