119. My mama and my daddy

say Maine counts! They are 87 years young and trekked out in a blinding snowstorm to caucus for Obama. My dad said he kept smiling at people and uttering, "Historic." They lost track of their ride home navigating around thousands at Portland High School, and decided to try to walk the 7 blocks home. They made it to the nearest corner and realized they were no match for the weather. They were concerned about falling and possible dual broken hips, they flagged down a car and got a ride home from a perfect stranger. Says a lot for Portland and senior determination, yes?
