Re: "If you care to read this forum you will again see that McCain voters were considerably better informed than Obama voters." (It would appear that perhaps you were the one not very well briefed about the results of that little poll, not I.) For one thing: analogous polls were never run. So, there is no possibility of making direct comparisons or answering that little question. <g> (The polling firm volunteered to run a parallel poll drawn from an equivalent sample of McCain voters --- but the on-the-make Talk Show bloviator refused to allow it....) Nevertheless, in public remarks, the head of the polling firm expressed his conviction that if a balanced pair of polls were to be run, asking the same sorts of mostly questions about the respondent's recollection of various events in political history... he felt "confident" that a nearly identical level of political knowledge/recollection would be posted by both samples. A confidence that I SHARE. :-) (So... Peter... 'It is quite interesting that your disassociation from reality exhibits itself in this way.' <GGG>)
