Bob, there is some truth to what you say, but consider:when the voting age was lowered to 18, most of those people voted for Nixon. Currently, only two age blocs strongly support Clinton: those under 25, and those over 65. Republicans won against Clinton among whites, who are the only ones clearly caught up in the trends you enumerated; and among males (taken as a separate category), who should be especially represented by Clinton. Also, Republican candidates beat Clinton among those with families, and most boomers settled down, and are either in the middle of, or towards the end of, or have recently finished, raising their families. So the picture of the generation is more complicated...
