Picking just this one, the most Reaganite cohorts are all classic Gen-X.  His libertrarian pitch fits their libertarian sensibilities like a glove.  Are there Boomers iin that same group? Sure, but certainly not nearly as many.

Exactly. Most boomers aren't nearly as conservative as people make them out to be. I know generation's values change overtime (I see Millennials slowly developing a kind of conservative realism that is long overdue), but...do we really expect the hippie-gone-yuppie generation have truly had all the hippie taken out of them? haha

I think you'll find that the most liberal Boomers stayed that way from youth, but most of the conservative Boomers, and there are many, found Jesus along the way.  Of course, there were also many who hid-out in college and moved into lucrative careers.  We're a nearly bifurcated generation, explaining why we are so bad at getting things done in the public realm.
