Obama won by 7%, W beat Kerry by 3% and lost popular vote to Gore.
Clinton beat Bush by 5% and Dole by 7%
So we are really talking about 10% of the electorate deciding who wins these elections.
And these 10% are basically easily influenced by television ads and are totally damn wishy washy. They react and do not think. They believe their preachers and believe the advertising they see while watching damn "dancing with the stars".
How can anyone who supported Obama in 2008 honestly now be a GOP supporter? It is really because they do not put 10 minutes of thought into it. They react to news or friends or MSM telling them this is a big GOP year.
They wanted everything better in 18 months and it is was not better they will vote the other party in again.
10% is nothing....
Based on
http://www.newsweek.com/photo/2010/08/24/dumb-things-americans-believe.html25% do not believe in evolution
41% believe in ESP, 32% in ghosts, and 25% in astrology
And, wait for it, 20% still believe the Sun revolves around the earth!!!
So it is no big surprise that Idiot Americans now are leaning towards the GOP. It only takes about 10% to sway an election. And lets face it. It is not hard to fool 10% of the population in this damn country!
