Wow, so you really are one of them...Why do you lefties always bring up Sarah Palin????? I get it, she's not the brightest. Stop trying to deflect the issue. This thread is about politically-dumb people voting for Obama. I believe that the overall message of the poll was to show that the people questioned were largely influenced by stories in which the media perpetuated rather actual policy issues. I believe that Obama attracted many ill-informed voters to the polls. Now that's not to say that you dems in this forum are included in that group, so try not to get offended.
Talk about deflecting, Palin was said to unite the base, but then look at the folks she attracted to her rallies, is this ya'lls base? The fact that you keep defending that "poll" makes me believe it is. Maybe you should read that poll again.
Would you like to hear my personal stories of folks that think Obama is a Muslim, he's going to turn this into a "black" country, etc... I mean come on, you sound more and more like the folks you are talking about.I believe this largely because of my mother-in-law. She knows nothing about politics and doesn't care much. When I asked her about this election and who she wanted to see win, she replied Obama with an ere of confidence in her answer. I was quite surprised by this as I've never seen her remotely interested in politics before. I started to probe a little bit further and she couldn't name one single policy issue that Obama has proposed. She said that Obama seemed genuine and looked nice and that the US needed a change from "old white boy's club". Although very smart in other areas, my mother-in-law is politically dumb. She doesn’t understand the political spectrum. She doesn’t understand or care much about the benefits of large/small government. She didn’t know or care about the social issues in the campaign. My mother-in-law would have responded to the poll in the exact same manner as the people in the video.
But why all the harsh talk? This poll simply proves that the Obama campaign and the media that supported him were able to excite voters who normally don't care.
What if there was a similar poll that read like this:
Did McCain lose a previous election in 2000 due to Rovian tactics which he is now employing himself?
Are you aware McCain's economic policies will make the rich richer and create more poor?
Is Obama a Muslim that pals around with unrepentant terrorist?
Would this poll show you anything?
