... of the project instead. Now John is back with a new survey — and it verifies the first: The 12 “Zogby” questions were duplicated, one on the Keating scandal was added for extra balance. The results from Obama voters were virtually IDENTICAL in both polls. Here are the highlights : John’s main thrust with these polls has been to show the effects of media bias on the election, and their effectiveness in informing voters.

How Obama got elected

You might think that the Zogby poll we have been hearing so much about reflected the ignorance of Obama voters, but it really reflects an uniformed voter. Consider their news sources and you understand. This is from the Powerline forum, but I got it from Protein Wisdom. The full report is here.

McCain voters knew which party controls congress by a 63-27 margin. Obama ...

Political Ignorance and the 2008 Election:
The Volokh Conspiracy —
The conservative "How Obama Got Elected" website has put up survey data from polls conducted by Zogby and Wilson Research that shows extensive political ignorance among Obama votes. For example, some 57 (in the Zogby poll) to 59% (Wilson poll) of Obama voters didn't known that the Democrats controlled Congress at the time of the election. By contrast, 63% of McCain supporters got this question right in the Wilson survey (Zogby did not conduct a separate survey of McCain supporters on this issue). Similarly, ...
The Right Needs to Be More Entertaining

... strategy, tactics, and weapons. Being weak isn’t such a disadvantage when hitting the other guys where they are not expecting it. The left figured out years ago that in a battle of serious political debate, they are likely to lose — especially as leftist ideas were utterly discredited by the failure of centrally planned economies in the 20th century.
