This Is a Kind of Political Demographics Sort of Question: How Old Is the Oldest Poster on DU?

Does anybody know?

How about the youngest and the median age of posters?

If someone has the answers great, or if someone can just point me to the answers, I'd appreciate it.

I will check back on this post tomorrow, as I have some place I need to go and I'm already running late.

Thank You.

1. Thanks for the plus-size font.

at 46, I'm pretty sure it's not me.

46. You're Quite Welcome for the Big Font, Jeff & I See You're a lumberjack, So You Must Be OK! *L*

At 46 -- why you're just a stripling lad!

And with 15 years separating us, we're exactly one generation apart! But if you start calling me "Ma," I'm gonna have to put a kerf in your axe-handle!

Thanks! ~*;)*~

75. Me too. Turning the big 50 this year-guess what I want for my birthday?

a President Obama!

78. Hello, mod mom. My B-Day is Very Close to Election Day, And Guess What I Want for MY B-Day?

A President Clinton!

I've been a very good little girl this year, but I got close to a dozen years on you, and am willing to leg-wrestle anybody to get the birthday present I want.

Remember two go into the ring, only one comes out.

There can be only one.

And I am that one, just as Hillary is THE ONE!

Thanks, "MOM!" ~*}(*~ *LOL*

80. Perhaps you missed Halperin's piece in TIME, which was preceded by Allen/Vandehei on Politico:

HALPERIN’S TAKE: Painful Things Hillary Clinton Knows — Or Should Know

1. She can’t win the nomination without overturning the will of the elected delegates, which will alienate many Democrats.
2. She can’t win the nomination without a bloody convention battle — after which, even if she won, history and many Democrats would cast her as a villain.
3. Catching up in the popular vote is not out of the question — but without re-votes in Florida and Michigan it will be almost as impossible as catching up in elected delegates.
4. Nancy Pelosi and other leading members of Congress don’t think she can win and want her to give up. Same with superdelegate-to-the-stars Donna Brazile.
5. Obama’s skilled, close-knit staff can do things like silently kill re-votes in Florida and Michigan and not pay a political price.
6. Many of her supporters — and even some of her staffers — would be relieved (and even delighted) if she quit the race; none of his supporters or staff feel that way. Some think she just might throw in the towel in June if it appears efforts to fight on would hurt Obama’s general election chances.

Story behind the story: The Clinton myth
By JIM VANDEHEI & MIKE ALLEN | 3/21/08 1:32 PM EST


Clinton's campaign rests increasingly on a game of make-believe.


One big fact has largely been lost in the recent coverage of the Democratic presidential race: Hillary Rodham Clinton has virtually no chance of winning.

Her own campaign acknowledges there is no way that she will finish ahead in pledged delegates. That means the only way she wins is if Democratic superdelegates are ready to risk a backlash of historic proportions from the party’s most reliable constituency.

Unless Clinton is able to at least win the primary popular vote — which also would take nothing less than an electoral miracle — and use that achievement to pressure superdelegates, she has only one scenario for victory. An African-American opponent and his backers would be told that, even though he won the contest with voters, the prize is going to someone else.

People who think that scenario is even remotely likely are living on another planet.

peace out

[anonymeme]

85. Perhaps You Don't Realize You Are Off Topic And...

Being rather unfunny and discourteous, though not atypical for Obama supporters.

One exchange -- half on topic half off topic -- is really quite enough.

You certainly are free to think what you will and say what you want, but could you please find another post to hijack in order to do that?

Oh, and saying "Peace Out" at the end doesn't excuse it, or mean that your feet are actually on a peaceful path.

BTW & FYI, it's a good ways to August, yet, longer to November.

And many a slip twixt the cup and the lip.

Thank you.

[mod mom]

104. The peace out was to imply why I am against your suggestion of Sen Clinton. IWR

My family and I have been strong opponents against the war since it started. We just finished our 6th year anniversary of the Iraq war by marching in upper 30's, pouring rain. If more senators had bothered to stand up for what was right back in 2002, there would be countless lives saved, and we would not have this frightening deficit hanging over not only our economy but that of our children. It takes real leadership to make unpopular hard decisions. Sen Clinton failed in that test, and she failed again in voting for Kyl-Lieberman. I suggest watching Sen Jim Webb's floor speech just prior to the Kyl Lieberman vote. Another vote demonstrating lack of leadership.

Peace, social justice, environmental concerns, fair trade and election integrity are all important issues to me. The research I have done to chose a candidate all points AWAY from Sen Clinton on these issues.

[anonymeme]

107. #1. mod mom, I Asked You Politely to Please Hijack Another Post For This or You Could Start Your Own

But as I said your behavior seems to be typical behavior for a lot of Obama supporters, rude and obnoxious.

Hillary helped us get into Iraq based on falsely skewed intelligence handed to her by Bush & Co who knew better.

106. Well, the wife is younger - keeps me feeling young

Youth is contagious :)

[Wetzelbill]

11. wow, I can't even come up with a good smartass comment

I might be the oldest. I'm 33. The memory is going. :)

I would think DU consists of mostly younger people, very activist oriented, but when I actually sit and think about it, most of my DU friends are older than I am, so that kills that one. :)

[msedano]

16. they say the memory is the second thing to go...

and now i can't remember the first.

i remember when harry s. truman was president and the stevenson v. eisenhower campaign. the hole in the shoe buttons for the egghead. my birth gave my dad enough points to come home from europe instead of shipping out to the pacific.

i learned to read from read dick and jane books in kindergarten.

i remember the milkman delivering milk with cream at the top. i remember the helms bakery man in his woody and the three-note whistle. i remember the union ice company delivering ice to our icebox. i remember using the montgomery ward or sears catalog for toilet paper in the outdoor toilet because we didn't have running water. i remember party lines where everyone on the street shared the same phone line, and you could always tell when someone was eavesdropping on your calls so you hurled insults at them. i remembe the okies down the street who arrived in the depression but i don't remember the depression cause that was my dad and mon's generation.

i remember when we stood on the playground and watched the orange air move toward redlands from fontana kaiser steel and that new word explaining it all: smog. and eric halsey coined the ditty UCLA when the smog goes away.

but i'm not the oldest vato here.

[anonymeme]

62. "the memory is the 2nd thing to go" Thank GOD! Wait A Sec...Thought You Said It Was the 1st Thing!

Sorry, I had something in my ear... funny it looks a lot like a suppository...

Oh... I think I remember where I put my hearing aid, now...

*ba-dump-bump-ching!*

Re: all the great stuff in this post:

I remember almost all the things you do, except the shoe buttons with the holes for the eggheads?

And I grew up in New York State where we had the Duggans Bakery Truck -- which became Entenmann's many years later...

But as far as the driver's Woody or 3-note whistle, I'm not touching that line with a 10 foot pole... *L*



I think you might be just a couple years older than I am.

But that's no biggie...

And I now know I'm not the oldest... er... Vato-ette in here? Hermana? Mamacita? Actually, Lassie or Frau comes closer...

Or like I told someone else, at least I'm not the oldest prune on the plum tree in here!

Oh, what I wouldn't give to be 33 again!

But time doesn't run backwards... yet.

And a lot of the time I still feel 19 inside...

But then sometimes my 61 year old muscles & joints tell me the horrible awful truth...

Thank you, Wetzelbill... I know it's all in fun. ~*;)*~

BTW, I knew a family named Wetzel who used to camp near us at Fairhaven Beach... Lo those centuries ago!

[Wetzelbill]

86. oh gosh

I can tell you the joints and muscles are rough! I sound like a bowl of rice krispies when I wake up in the morning, I used to ride bulls and wrestle. I was a pretty serious athlete for awhile and my body was beat up before I was even 18, haha.

33 isn't too bad I guess. I can live with it. My uncle lives nearby and he's 56 or 57 and he's more active than I am. That guy is always on the go. He feels about 19 as well, so I bet you still feel pretty good. :)

Pinch my cheeks, lol. Good one. :)

Thanks! ~*;)*~

[lumpy]

112. Hi Blue. I'm going to check out your webpage. I am always

interested in reading your many posts. I guess it's because I was born and lived in Alaska before it was a state. So I'm always interested in what goes on in that great country. I lived in the Fairbanks area, daughter of pioneer homesteaders.

[Blue_In_AK]

114. Oh, Lumpy, you were so lucky to have lived here then.

I have so much respect for the pioneers who came here and learned to live in this tough land so well. I moved here from California in 1975, so I'm a relative Cheechako, but I do love this state, and it will always be my home. It's the closest place to heaven I've ever been.

I love it when people visit my web page, so thank you. :) I'm uploading some photos from our peace demonstrations this past week right now that you might get a kick out of. We are getting a lot more positive support from the passersby these days, so it feels good to be out expressing our opposition to everything "Bush." In the early protests there were a lot of rude gestures thrown our way and epithets, but that hardly ever happens these days.

[Mike03]

13. A poll would be a much better way to calculate this than a sort of "anecdotal question."

Chrissakes. Why don't you construct a poll?

[Gormy Cuss]

18. A self-selected sample responding to a DU poll would still be a poor calculation

But it would be more efficient in terms of thread length.

[Mike03]

20. True, you are right. NT

[tachyon]

36. Not necessarily a poor calculation since it's not based on opinion so much as

plain old actuarial numbers...

[Gormy Cuss]

39. If the question is age distribution of DU posters and it's a self-selected sample, it's likely to

have a huge bias. Past polls on this issue seem to skew to older respondents but nothing is available to verify whether DU posters are in fact mostly posters over age 45, for example.

Gettin' old ain't for sissies!!

150 Range Stanford Binet when I was in high school, but believe I may have lost some brain bits since then, having been "rode hard and put up wet, a few too many times," as the natives here like to say in description of people who have had to deal with some rough patches.

But here's a thought ~*:think:*~ Mike. If you want that information, why don't YOU do THOSE survey polls yourself?!

23. Well I just turned 8.

Another beer and I'll regress to 4 (It's a logarithmic trend..I started at 45).

110. Seriously, I play with my twin sons when I want to feel like a child.

They're almost three. You can't help but feel a little bit of the youthful freedom when you chase them around the back yard pretending to be a monster and hear their squeals of delight. It is thrilling to see their wonder in their eyes when they discover something new. I showed one of them a lizard in our back yard and it was like he'd seen the most amazing wonder in the world. I have to play with them at least an hour a day just to keep my sanity in these times.

Added on edit: BTW, if you're interested in statistics about folks DU, there was a blog survey last year that a lot of us Duers (encouraged by the Admins) participated in. I didn't save the link to the results but someone else around here might still have it.

[WoodyM]

24. 79

Long time lurker but only a few posts. Grew up listening to Franklin Roosevelt’s firesides chats. My parents were very active politically and fervent supports of Roosevelt. Have been a lifetime democrat also. Can remember when it cost eleven cents to see a movie. If you were rich enough to have ten cents to see a movie you were rich enough to pay a one cent tax on it.

[slinkerwink]

27. wow! movies cost ten cents back then?

38. I hit 79 in December. Oh to be 50 again !

The forties weren't bad either. Raised in a Democratic family/ Father was active in politics/Dinner time was a riot discussing the poltical news of the day/ A good time was had by all. Never have lost my interest in politics.

[anonymeme]

79. You Are Awesome, Too, lumpy! And I Love the Nickname...

My Dad Sometimes Called Me "Lumpy" and Thought He Was a Total Hoot When he Called Me That.

He would have been 81 this year.

I hate to even say it in here, but I was raised by a very strong, politically active R...etc famly, bu converted to being a Democrat around 1978-79 when I voted for Jimmy Carter for his second term, and have been a staunch Democrat since then.

This candidate selection has my head in a knot, though.

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that you make me feel like a kid with what you said and I'm 61.

Thanks, lumpy! ~*;)*~

I've got a bunch of FDR's fireside chats that I play on my station every so often, but i've never talked to anyone who listened to them as they happened.

96. You have three years on me. I'm 73.

Texas had a two-cent tax on movies - we paid 12 cents every Saturday afternoon to see Roy Rogers or Gene Autry. After age 12, a movie cost 52 cents. We paid 25 cents for a carton of cokes, a package of cigarettes and a gallon of gas. Of course we didn't make much either - I was paid 35 cents an hour to babysit. But we didn't need as much. I started first grade in 1941 with three dresses - one red, one green and one blue, all from the Montgomery Wards catalog - and a red broomstick skirt my grandmother made for me.

He went to school in Davis, CA!

34. Not the oldest for sure but will be 66 in about 3 hours.

:D

More like 7 hours to be precise...3/22/42 at around 3 something a.m. long before daylight savings time was invented.

I'm an iconoclastic American and an iconoclastic Democrat too...I'm not thrilled with either of our probable nominees;
I wanted and voted for another candidate but of course I will support whoever gets it. BUT, I am very dubious about
either Obama or Clinton being able to win the general election. I base that on 40+ years of observing and analyzing politics and of course issue the caveat I may be wrong...I hope I am...but I foresee a President McCain in our future.

93. Hehe, I'm just glad I outlived King Croesus, man was that guy full of himself...

and he never listened, I swear, you get an audience in front of a king, and all he talks wants to talk about is himself. That soured me on royalty as an institution. History says I died before him, but they got my date of birth wrong, so I wouldn't believe the date of death either. ;)

Oh, and I got the dates of Atlantis right dammit, Plato sucked at understanding Egyptian, and yes, I believe from my sources in Egypt that it was the Island of Santorini, as its called now. ;)

99. Well, Solon, You've Got Me Thinking About Reincarnation, Immortality and Longevity at Very Least...

Because I feel strangely like I know you from somewhere... is that possible?

[Wizard777]

44. I'm only 76.

[anonymeme]

73. Only 76, and a Wizard....

I like the way you put that, Wiz.

Thank you. ~*;)*~

[Wizard777]

115. 76 isn't as old as it used to be.

When I was younger 76 was old. It was real old. You were considered to be knocking on deaths door. Now 76 isn't all that old. The greater majority of people can expect to see 76 and much more. Science is a wonderful thing.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

53. How old are you? Where do you live? What is your gender? Where is your profile?

[anonymeme]

90. I'm 61, And Female, BD12...

I'm 61, And Female... as You Could Have Seen if You Read the Rest of the Posts Instead of Playing Some Kind of Grand Inquisitor.

I was born and raised in the North, but have lived another lifetime in the South.

Precisely where is nobody's *bl*tzf*ckn'* business.

As are any other questions that could take away from my security.

Got any complaints?

Write your friendly Congressman.

[Javaman]

61. Are you talking human years or bush* years?

In human years I'm 45, in bush* years I'm in my 90's. That fucker* has aged the shit out of me.

[anonymeme]

74. The Bush Years... Gone on For a Century or More, Haven't They? Maybe 2... Seems Like FOREVER!!!!

I know just what you mean...

When the Monster Bush Bush-Monster took office, I was a young lass in the flower of my youte...

And now I'm an old curmudgeon of 122 years... feeling more crabby and crotchety by the day...

Some days I can barely lift my vorpal sword... and my freakin' pen keeps getting stuck in the keyboard...

Where is a real hero when we really need one? ~*:shrug:*~

Thanks, Javaman...

77. I'm only 41, but physically I feel 75.

[anonymeme]

95. Well, Fuzz, You're 20 Years Younger Than I Am... So...

Don't Make Me Come Over There & Smack You Upside the Head, Young Man.

Seriously, we all have days when we feel like that, but as long as it isn't every day...

Remember no matter how bad you feel, every day above ground is a good one... especially when you consider the alternative.

Thanks for your response. ~*:hug:*~
