Republicans, you've got your work cut out for you

Cross-posted from my blog--see the entry for the fancy formatting: http://clarusvisum.blogspot.com/2008/10/republicans-you-got-your-work-cut-out.html ===== There was a focus group (Source: http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1008/Voting_for_Obama_anyway.html?showall) conducted in "an upper-Midwestern state" in which people were shown basically a take-no-prisoners pull-out-all-the-stops attack ad against Obama. It was the kind of ad the guy running the group thought would be the best for McCain to run now. He apparently was quite surprised by the fact that, despite the groups' overwhelming acceptance of the attacks as being true, most of them, while practically attacking Obama in the same sentence, said they were still going to vote for him. Here's the statement that got my attention the most: "Well, I don't know much about this terrorist group Barack used to be in with that Weather guy but I'm sick of paying for health insurance at work and that's why I'm supporting Barack." Got that? This is a person who got the idea (apparently from the ad) that Obama was actually a member himself of the Weather Underground, and basically has accepted the (obviously false, but I digress) claim that Obama is literally a terrorist, and still--STILL--is going to vote for him. Wow. You guys are screwed. P.S. I'm still voting, and so should everyone else. Twenty days remain--make sure you're a part of history come November (if not sooner)!
