The candidate is building it up with a focus on affinity groups. "Women for Obama," "Educators for Obama," "Lawyers for Obama" — all these are examples of groups for which there are corresponding pages on the candidate's Web site." Maybe the Senator doesn't understand that Seniors also have concerns and they vote
