Those Darn Voters

Once again, the post election story line is how stupid, uninformed, gullible and downright crazy the electorate is. It's just amazing how the regular guy out there pulling the lever is so susceptable to every assinine TV commercial that the opposition runs. And why is it only the opposition commercials that they take to heart? They never seem to even hear "our side's" commercials, which are just as mean and negative (but truthful!) It just seems that they go out of their way to "vote against their own interests."

Of course they have no explanation as to why things went totally their way two years ago. Apparently, that year, voters were paying close attention and thinking straight.

Lots of complaining about the money that Ron Johnson spent winning the Senate seat over Russ Feingold. He bought the seat. The problem with that scenario is that Ron Johnson lead in the poll done by Rassmussen on July 13th and in every single poll done after that date. And on July 13th Ron Johnson had yet to secure the Republican nomination and not yet run a single commercial. His name recognition was below 50% at the time. And it turns out that Russ spent about $16 million on his campaign this year whlie Johnson only spent $10 million.
