Does Obama connect with working people and senior citizens?
Because we're going to need them come November. Working people, not college students or academics make up most regular voters and senior citizens are important for their sheer numbers.

And they caucused for Obama. So there are at least two senior citizens who will vote for Obama should he be the nominee.
And I'm a working stiff and will support him as well.

2. Our area in Iowa is largely seniors and rural working class or farm people.
When Obama was here, he was warmly embraced and is spoken of with great affection and admiration by all us "regular voters."

What an asshole condescending question to ask.
