No surprise that we have uninformed people voting for a Democrat, but maybe more of you will understand the power of media bias.
Almost NO ONE who voted for Obama understood his or McCain's positions and were misinformed by the media..
Liberal media bias obviously mattered...
Survey finds most Obama voters remembered negative coverage of McCain/Palin statements but struggled to correctly answer questions about coverage associated with Obama/Biden
UTICA, New York -- Just 2% of voters who supported Barack Obama on Election Day obtained perfect or near-perfect scores on a post election test which gauged their knowledge of statements and scandals associated with the presidential tickets during the campaign, a new Zogby International telephone poll shows.
83% failed to correctly answer that Obama had won his first election by getting all of his opponents removed from the ballot, and 88% did not correctly associate Obama with his statement that his energy policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry. Most (56%) were also not able to correctly answer that Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground.
Nearly three quarters (72%) of Obama voters did not correctly identify Biden as the candidate who had to quit a previous campaign for President because he was found to have plagiarized a speech, and nearly half (47%) did not know that Biden was the one who predicted Obama would be tested by a generated international crisis during his first six months as President.

I wouldn't trust that poll. It seems it was commissioned and massaged with the express purpose of selling a movie.
absolutely right, jay. From nate silver at fivethirtyeight.com:
this survey meets the definition of a "push poll", which the Random House Dictionary defines as "a seemingly unbiased telephone survey that is actually conducted by supporters of a particular candidate and disseminates negative information about an opponent." That (i) several of the items on the survey contain information which, in addition to being negative, is arguably also untrue; (ii) Ziegler brags that the survey includes a trick question to which no correct answer can be provided, and that (iii) apparently only Obama voters were targeted by the survey (although this is not 100 percent clear), also inform my opinion that the survey can fairly be described as a "push poll".
Probably it's time for you to accept what happened in the election and accept BHO as your president. Your continued emotional rants and political hatred by selectively quoting polls and sources is not a good thing.
BHO has not even started ruling - you should give him sometime and see how it all goes.
And therein lies the problem - presidents do not RULE...unless, of course, it's the chosen one.
Is there any doubt that polling Bush supporters in the South would have produced similar results in 2004? If we polled Game, would he claim we found WMDs in Iraq? Or that Saddam masterminded 9/11? From what I have read on his blog, it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Maybe you need a blog that would agree with anonymous comments....now that wouldn't surprise me in the least...imagine that...from what I have to read it is obvious I haven't noticed any anonymous masterminds commenting here ever...
Scorpion does not like the option of commenting as anonymous. Got it. Do you have any other point? Can you construct a valid, logical argument aside from this complaint?
Is "Scorpion" anonymous fer ya? Perhaps we need a separate comment roll where "Scorpions" can drop their deep insight on us...you could put it right next to the "Anonymous" comments?
Admit it, Scorp...there's probably as many, or more, stupid people bunched up in that religious right side than there are regular stupid people who vote Democratic.
Stupid people always remain anonymous...as I have pointed out often over time I READ ENOUGH VALID "RIGHT ON" responses here that I need not add to what has already been posted..I respond to what is comical..insulting..or plain ridiculous...as I usually try
to laugh at bizarro world posts..or..I respond when something incredibly ignorant needs an insult in response..I will
try to make this easy enough for even anonymous bloggers to understand if necessary..hope you had enough time to waste reading this explanation again,as I certainly lose time reading these
"intelligent" blog responses to RIGHT FROM THE RIGHT...
Of course..anyone could go back in the archives of this blog and find scorpion's picture being there for well over a year..this might even be more valuable than wasting space on the "sources" that no one wants to waste time looking at..of course..I invite all anonymous bloggers to join me for a cool one at the 2009 Wisconsin State Fair..my treat..we can discuss all valid viewpoints..imagine that...
even me, scorp??
If you remember hash..I made you that offer a long time ago..oferr still stands...my treat...
