A lot of them didn't know. The media was flacking for him heavier than I've ever seen it before.

How Obama Got Elected - interviews with Obama voters

Others willingly suspended things they did know on faith. There was a feeling we're going to make history. We're going to demonstrate something about ourselves by voting for Obama.

I wonder how the election would go today?

He would sweep YOUR remaining members out of Congress on his coattails. People hate you folks for trying to sabotage the country.

How the election would go today? It would be closer. Obama still would probably win though.

Bob, your assumption that the American people are stupid is exactly how Rove and Bush thinking got the GOP into this mess.

The American people are not stupid. I voted for Obama for some very specific promises he made and so far, I'm getting what I voted for. It just so happens that what 60% of Americans want isn't what you want. That doesn't make you smarter. Not by a long shot.
