“I did not mean likability is the only factor, it is just more important than many others, of course. My guess is 75% of voters do not spend more than 2 to 3 hours TOTAL studying various candidates on issues before they vote. People visiting sites such as this are much more informed. But most voters are not.”
Well I can tell you this. If these uniformed voters don’t like Obama, they’re gonna love Newt in the debates.
My disclaimer: I will vote for any GOP nominee, even if it is Ron Paul. The debates between Obama & Newt will be a doosie. (that word comes from the terrific car of yesteryear the Dusenberg) However keep in mind, the only candidate the left hates more than Newt is Sarah. So expect them to come out of the woodwork to vote for Obama. The blacks will break 95%+ for Obama.
Uninformed voters don’t even watch the debates.
It is 40% who really do not like Obama. 95% of them will vote for GOP regardless of who is the nominee. The other 40% will vote 95% democrat, regardless. With Cain, that could drop to 90%.
The mushy middle 20% are pliable, and if they perceive Newt as arrogant or know it all, he will be toast.
