Boomer fatigue reason for recent political drama?

Is boomer fatigue fueling calls for change in the current election cycle? Rep. Tom Cole (R-Ok.) says yes, and thinks it's one reason for Sen. Obama's rise in popularity (the fact that Obama was born in 1962 and is therefore technically a boomer wasn't addressed by the Congressman).

According to the Ada Evening News in Ada, Okla. Cole says it's unprecedented in American history for two families to dominate the presidency as the Bushes and Clintons have done for the last twenty years. People, by and large, are tired of them. Florida Gov. Jeb Bush wisely dared not run because of this prevailing electoral sentiment.

Voters in Iowa demonstrated what may be true for a majority of the country. People, Cole said, are tired of Baby Boomers running things. They are looking for someone fresh and new, which Obama represents to them.

While it was smart of Mrs. Clinton to change her message, the paper notes, in many voters' minds her last name works against her as a credible presidential personification of change.
