Heh..
Well Opie, I think you're being a little unfair. Whilst some of the Republican supporters can be considered as reacting to "the lowest common denominator" there are a great deal of very intelligent, very able and very sincere people that voted for Bush.
It's the "average Joe" that doesn't really know or understand much about politics that I'm thinking about.
Which one looks better on TV? Bush.
Which one is the incumbent? Bush.
That's all that I meant.
