I've been having this discussion with someone who has jumped on the Huckabee bandwagon simply because a pastor friend has come out in support of Huckabee.

I think it's because we read and research and know a lot more about the political landscape and the players than does the average American voter.

I think you’re right. I was talking to a friend today, who had voted for McCain absentee already. When I explained why I couldn’t vote For McCain: Amnesty, Taxes, Gang of 14, Feingold, global warming etc. He had no idea. He said that he wished he could get his ballot back and had only voted for him because of his military service. The sad thing is that a lot of people are picking candidates without any understanding of where they stand on the issues, or their political record.
