Stupid voters exist on all sides of the political spectrum.

Hey, a lot of kids buy Cracker Jacks not knowing what surprise toy is inside!!

Let's put it this way: "Hope" and "Change"--amorphous as they may be as to what their actual contents might be, are for many people a much better prospect than tried and true crap.

Let's put it this way: Back in 1999, I said to myself, "Self, let's not vote for Gore, because I can't stand Clinton. I'm not 100% sure about this Bush guy, but how bad can it get?"

Do you honestly not see a difference between voting for someone because they inspire you, even if it is somewhat vague an not voting for someone because of holding and absolutely demonstrably false belief about a candidate?

Voting for McCain "because he makes me feel secure in a dangerous world" isn't the same brand of idiocy as not voting for McCain because he's Chinese.
