How Obama Got Elected -- interviews with voters.

[Guest GUTTERbOY]

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I'm willing to bet you could easily find a group of McCain voters who are equally uninformed. That said, I do suspect that on the whole, Obama captured the larger portion of the clueless voters this time around.

i agree some what, there are uninformed people everywhere you go. i've seen people do reports in NYC, walking down the street and asking random people "Whats the closed planet to Earth", "Whats our current president", just really simple easy questions that every one should know, but they didn't have a clue. Sadly I think most of these people voted for Obama. The uninformed people who voted for McCain did it because they are die hard republicans.

just my 2cents

Yeah, I think we can define three distinct classes of uninformed people here: Democrats, Republicans, and independents. The Dems and Repubs are folks who just vote for a particular party because it's what they've always done, or what their parents have always done, or some such. For these folks, the only thing they need to see to decide their vote is an R or a D. You could put Rin-Tin-Tin's name on the ballot, and they'd vote for her so long as the right letter was beside the name.

But the middle ground folks are the important ones for an election. These are the impressionable folks who just need the proper coaxing to vote for someone. These are the folks who never voted before, but came out three weeks ago to vote for "change." Lots of them couldn't tell you what kind of change they voted for; all they know is that all the cool kids hate Bush, and he's a Republican, so we definitely need change.

Nowhere does the herd mentality alarm me more than in political applications.

Sure, there are plenty of moronic McCain voters, but they have their ideas shaped by something other than the mainstream media. What was impressive to me about this video was not how dumb Obama voters are, but how they mindlessly echo nonsense that they see on TV. It says more about the news media than it does about Democrats.

I don't know that you'd call what they do to their automobiles "driving" but there are a TON of morons behind the wheel on the roads in Tn. But, with that said, CA is 100000000000 times worse.... turd burglers every one.
