When you get outside the world of FR and Drudge readers, I know many who are voting Obama that you wouldn’t expect. There is big support out in America beyond African Americans and liberals. People who just want something different and will pull the Dem lever without thinking things through.

THAT ("FR GroupThink") is EXACTLY what worries me.

Birds of a feather flock together..but what's the rest of the world outside of our small little microcosm here on FR thinking?

If nothing else, the constant ONSLAUGHT of Poll News (whether WE believe it or not) is gonna influence the sheeple. I just hope that it doesn't suppress turnout, as it's going to be hard enough to overcome all the vote fraud, without our side being kept home by "Poll Despair".

I have noticed that politics is the new entertainment for many people. THey seem to thrive on political scandal, intrigue, etc. I don’t think they want peaceful bipartisan politics.

They seem to want politics to be full of drama. They loved the Clinton years.

A superficial tv addled non reading populace with no sense or knowledge of history. They would vote Obama for trivial reasons and just to see what electing him would mean in entertainment value.

Something dreadful has happened to our citizenry. I blame poor education and television.

I think very hard economic times will either make us by bringing back the virtues of our parents and grandparents or will break us by electing a stealth fascist.
