Granted it was only 7 days. But we did talk to lots of people young and old. Never once did politics enter a conversation.
We're 65 and 66 and are registered republicans here in Indiana, simply because you can only register as a rep or a dem.. But we consider ourselves independents and would register that way if we could. I think the TV will continue to be a great place, but it will moderate over time as the older baby boomers attrition out.
We like newer music, running, mountain biking and staying fit and acitve. We aren't stuck in the past. I like to spend my time looking out the windshield and not the rearview mirror.
I do admit, more diversity in TV would be nice, but it needs to happen organically.
Every community has it's warts. You just have to find what fits you the best. We're looking forward to spending winters there. But if at some point we feel it's not for us, we'll sell our house and move. Life is full of choices.

Just a minor correction: You don't have to register as only Democrat or Republican in Indiana. That requirement only applies to the primaries. If you want to vote in the Democrat primary you have to be affiliated as a Democrat. Vice versa for Republican. That's the same in Florida. Someone whose registration declares them as a Democrat may not vote in the Republican primary. And, if you want to vote in one of the primaries, you must declare as registered to that party. If you refuse to declare, you can't vote for any candidates the primary. But you can still vote on any "questions" in the primary, and you can still vote in the general elections.
