Well-heeled, elderly, white ladies for Obama

Posted By katie allison granju

A.C. Kleinheider introduces us to some Nashville Obama supporters who are out to shatter stereotypes:

Here in Nashville, an intriguing collective has taken to video sharing site YouTube to challenge the notion that Barack Obama is the candidate of the African-American community or the young. A group of seasoned female Nashvillians, several of whom are quite prominent in the community, have proudly declared themselves “White Haired Women for Obama.”

The video (see below) was the brainchild of Belle Meade resident Patricia Burton, who wrote the script and tapped local filmmaker Travis Nicholson to direct. The video was produced as an entry in Moveon.org’s “Obama in Thirty Seconds” contest. The winner, selected by a panel of celebrity judges, will see their ad aired nationally courtesy of Moveon.org and will receive a $20,000 gift certificate for video equipment. The deadline for entries is Tuesday.

    Thank goodness someone has come forward! My mother (age 90) and I (age 65) are tired of hearing how our age group is supposed to be for Hillary! Both of us changed our Republican registrations to Democratic just so that we could vote for Obama in the primaries.
    Furthermore, my mother lives in a retirement “home” and 8 out of 9 ladies that she eats dinner with (from the ages of 80-98) all are for Obama.
    Hillary is a lot of hot air. She only looks out for herself.
