I'm annoyed with the Hunter campaign and have been since they were less organized tahn the Cox campaign at CPAC. That said, the idea that today's poll is inevitable is just wrong. A month ago, Huckabee was a nobody. He turned it around with a few good debate performaces, the purcahse of an email list to single-issue Chirstian voters, and with the aid of the media.

When the media lie about the positions of candidates and introduce others as fringe canddidates, what support are these to get?
When candidates win or do well in debates, but are ignored in debate reviews, what are we to do?

When voters decide not to look at facts for themselves, the Republic is lost.

When voters decide not to look at facts for themselves, the Republic is lost.

It's already lost, for the reason you state - dumb voters. In a better Republic, there would be voting tests for both intelligence and how informed the voter is.
