re: "How Obama got Elected"
That reference was already linked on that web site, as was Zogby's response. You can take their response or leave it.
That McCain voters would probably exhibit equal ignorance is a valid point, and I would really like to see the same poll run from that direction.
If it turned out that way, it would not make me feel any better about our electorate, our media, or our educational system.
One thing to take away from this is the importance of the influence of the media. Another thing would be a little more humility and appreciation of this reality when touting Obama's victory as a major raising of America's consciousness or a sea change in our political outlook.
The Republicans made that same mistake in 1994.
