Older people vote in greater numbers than any other group in America. That means both presidential candidates want the seniors on their side. We'll talk about what issues are important to older folks and for whom they may cast their ballots this fall. Laura's guests are Susan MacManus, political science professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa and author of "Targeting Senior Voters" and "Young vs. Old: Generational Combat in the 21st Century". We will also be joined by Karlyn Bowman, resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and Nancy George, coordinator for voter education at AARP.
