Ask someone not glued to FR or cable news and you will get blank stares. There is a good 45%+ still thinking Obama is qualified. They think his connections to Ayers isnt that big of a deal and that he had nothing to do with the finanical collapse.
Dont be so quick to assume you are the common conception. We are addicts and uniquely tied to all the going ons with the campaigns but there is a very large block of people who either hate politics and dont want to hear it (but think Obama is a "good change") and then there is the other block that just wants socialism/marxism and knowlingly want the fraud to go on.
Go to the McCain centers, and see what is happening there. People are coming from out of the woodwork, and they KNOW all about obama and ACORN. They are not freepers or news junkies, either.
I've noticed, from reading the news on the internet for a decade, that there are people who always speak ill of the American people, and underestimate them.
There are sheeple, but they do not amount to 45+%.
AND the America people elected W and re-elected him.
Does not sound too stupid to me.
