I think the recent set backs in 06 and 08 are more directly attributable to GOP arrogance and stupidity than anything else, including this worn out mantra every voter is ‘stupid’.
the voters are GENIUSES! Because they elected Obama.......
My guess is that the average IQ of a GOP voter is higher than a Dem voter.
Republicans who try to be liked by the media and other Democrats turn off otherwise Republican voters. That is a fact.
