I'd be curious to know how many polled thought they actually understood what was they were being polled about!

maybe adds a little extra weight,, I know that most of us "right wing" wackos, will not waste our time talking to some polster... I get the call,, it's "sure, hold on one sec.... Click".....My time is worht too much to me,, to waste it on some poll that will just be twisted around to fit whichever side is giving it.

I feel that liberals, like Spence and others may talk the poor guys ear off. Seems to hold true as the left has more to whine about and want people to hear their story... While the right, tend to keep to ourselves and take care of ourselves.. and don't want government or anyone else knowing our business

I'm not going to say there is an ethical way to state who can and cannot vote. However, ignorant people at the polls do nothing to better this country. People voting for the sake of voting benefits no one.

I wish I could find the reference where I heard it, but I did hear on 96.9 some day soon after the current the election that an entrance poll was done that showed a fair number of people showing up to the polls couldn't even tell you what the election was for - similar exit polls demonstrated that some people didn't even know who the running mate was for the candidate they voted for.

Another poll was done where they replaced views that were clearly Obama's but said they were McCain's and vica-versa, and a fair number of people didn't even notice.

These are the people that shouldn't be going to the polls.
