<ot>Hi Shaw - you ve made many many good points with your post. However, I think he cut it too close b/c of $$$. Take me and my stock mkt experience as an example, I didn't want to sell some of my holdings at the bottom of the mkt, but when I was on the verge of margin call, I had to do something. No one is perfect, but one must make some judgement. Sometimes, even hindsight is not 20/20 <G>! OOH, if the campaign has planned more carefully like that of the GOP, probably there would not have been as many overvotes. That said, some of the instructions did gear toward the better educated. If your granddad is one of the founders of headstart, maybe you know about the controversy of the IQ test [I think it was the Stanford Benet (sp?)] in the 50s. It was geared toward middle class white. Surprise, the poor and the non white flunked out left and right. Did the latter lag in intelligence? No. It is b/c the test was less intuitive to them b/c of their environment. Still, the democrat get-out-the-vote team should have helped to familiarise its constituents more.
best, Bosco |
