Will, it's also possible that people thought Kerry was such a disaster area that Bush was the lesser of two evils. Or that the tradeoffs involved favored Bush. Or that the "facts" you rely on aren't really facts but only your spin. There's lots of reasons other than stupidity for people to have made the decisions they did.
Personally, I don't understand why anyone would take Ralph Nader seriously, much less vote for him, yet I know plenty of perfectly nice, sane, intelligent, respectable people who did just that. Takes all types, my friend.
