When I was young and first started voting, I began to see that voters wanted a balance of power - Republican president, Democratic congress. It made sense to me. It still does. Sometimes gridlock is a good thing.

Do you think most Obama voters are smart enough to even understand the concept of checks and balances in government?

You know - this reminded me of my history teacher. He would vote for the other party if one had been in power more than 2 terms. Felt it kept the power even.

Of course, today, it is too dangerous to give the other party a chance to socialize the country.
