but I doubt most people were thinking about the possible economic welfare of our economy with a boost rather than their tax rebate in the mail and the new pool in their backyard.

While I argue there is nothing wrong with wanting a pool in your back yard with YOUR money (aka not confiscated by the government) that’s not important. (Though I am saving for a hot tub)
What I think your problem is overestimating people. Many people don't care unless something is threatened. If Bush wins or loses, their life won't change much. Why they are like that I don't know, maybe its education, maybe its family environment, maybe they are just stupid, but they don't CARE, and as such they are easily led. Unless they WANT to take the time to learn, I don't want them voting.
