I fear we are going to drastically let her down with re: to her grandchildren (and all others)...

All it takes is having a conversation with well educated moderate elderly, who do believe in women's rights and contraception, believe in global warming, believe in compassionate immigration policies and response, are moderate on drug laws and open to ending the war on drugs, who believe in good use of tax dollars, rely and relish their social security and medicare---BUT STILL VOTE REPUBLICAN and believe Obama is NO leader and has accomplished nothing!

The above conversation took place at the dog park two nights ago, and still has me feeling MISERABLE and fairly hopeless.
