25. Well, I'm a white man, 79 years of age.

I have always voted for and campaigned for Democrats. Since 1960, when I was 15 years old and campaigning for JFK.

I know many other men who do, and have done, the same. We don't "tend to vote Republican." Both white men and white women vote for both Democrats and Republicans. But this is Democratic Underground, and you'll find that most white men here are reliable Democratic voters. To assume otherwise is a mistake.

That's what I mean about having already decided. Jumping to conclusions about generalities is very often a mistake.
