10. Mine too.

What a sweet, joyful person she is!

Her story is so encouraging, too. When I look at the hateful, ignorant people going to McCain rallies, I worry for the future of this country. But realizing everything that she's LIVED through personally, and how far we've come in her lifetime, makes me hopeful about how much better our future can be.

106-year-old voter chooses Obama
By David Willey
BBC News, Rome

A 106-year-old American nun living in a convent in Rome could well be one of the oldest voters to cast a ballot in the 2008 US Presidential election.




How's that for grabbing the 'older female demographic'!
