Great video where a bunch of die-hard Obama supporters are asked some very simple questions about the Presidential and VP candidates.
Not surprisingly, they know nothing. Especially about Obama and Biden.
Of course, if you’re here reading a blog you are probably an above average informed voter/citizen.
Of course, the vast majority of voters/citizens are not as inquisitive or informed as the average blog reader.
But the people in this video are representative of the conversations Ive had with Obama supporters that I either know in real life or have engaged in conversation prior to the election.
I’ve asked so many Obama supporters what they thought of Obama’s ties to Rezko and Ayers — and almost none of them had any idea who those people were. I’ve asked people about his voting record on numerous issues, such as the second amendment and abortion. Again, clueless.
But hey, they really liked the idea of voting for a black guy who wasn’t a Republican. Sadly, for most of them, that’s all that mattered to them.

Rank ignorance. They don’t know which party controls Congress, and never heard of Reid, Frank, or Pelosi, but damn, do they know the media-approved misinformation that Palin wore a $150,000 wardrobe.

This guys makes Jay Leno’s “Jaywalks” look like the scientific method. The only thing appalling is the number of people who think the findings are valid, simply because they fit with their worldview. Begging the question in the worst way.
Actually, Matt, a survey was done by Zogby, and asked basically the same questions. It fit the world view of the dolts in the video.
The video only reinforces what many of already knew.
After having read the 538 post (all year), I have to second Matt’s comment above. Just another Republican gimmick. And after the last seven years, voting for anyone who isn’t a Republican is good enough for most folks.
For what its worth, these folks were probably balanced out by Repubs like the woman at the McCain town hall who called Obama “an Arab,” and all the white folks who will never vote for a “black guy” as you so kindly call Obama.
LOL! John Zogby….a Republican? Too funny.
Just like a liberal, no facts just false beliefs.
So black people only voted for Obama cause he’s black, a bit why republicans voted in droves for a moron like Palin (because she didn’t have an abortion)
Matt needs to learn what a “push poll” is.
