Video: 'How Obama was elected' (or, how the media won the election for Obama)

... yet.....
Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes
Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter
And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her "house," even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!
Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.
Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we "gave" one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)
HT - Ed Morrissey ...

... You have probably seen this, but if you haven't, it tells us all we know to know. How Obama got elected. The nice way of putting it is that no one really knew or cared about the issues. The media's constant attack on Palin made it's mark.

It’s Not The Whole Reason Obama Was Elected, But It’s A Big Chunk

... and asked them a few question. He filmed the results, which will likely come as no surprise at all to any of you. At that point, he had the same kind of “man on the street” interview as you might see on the Tonight Show or Sean Hannity’s show. Ziegler took it one step further, though. He commissioned a phone poll of another 512 Obama voters and asked them the same question. The results are pretty pathetic. In a nutshell, the vast majority of them knew all about the rumors and ginned-up scandals concerning Sarah Palin but none of the facts that might have reflected poorly on ...

... Ed Morrissey has a summary of some of the stats.
57.4 could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)
81.8 could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing) ...
Rock the Ignorant Vote
Sister Toldjah —
If this doesn’t make you want to scream first thing this morning, then nothing will.
Hint: It’s reminiscent of the Howard Stern audio clip where one of his staffers did “man on the street” interviews with people who supported Barack Obama who clearly knew nothing about either of the nominees for president.
Exit question: How do we change this? Stories like this one are extremely frustrating, because there are so many out there, including bloggers, pundits, authors, informed ...
Wingnuts' latest: Obama voters are stoopid because media didn't spread their smears
Crooks and Liars —
Ed Morrissey at Hot Air is plumping the efforts of an outfit called HowObamaGotElected, which in turn is now being bandied eagerly throughout the wingnutosphere.
Their main theme, apparently, is that Obama voters were "ignorant" because they hadn't absorbed the wingnuts' favorite smears about Obama during the campaign. The site claims that it commissioned a "Zogby Poll" which came up with the following results:
512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points
97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College ...
How Obama got elected - video and poll

(H/T - Ed Morrissey)
John Ziegler went out and interviewed a dozen Obama voters right after they voted to find out what they learned from the media coverage of the election season.
Click here to view the embedded video.
For those of you who don’t want to sift through the video (though I recommend it), here’s the short version: The voters, by and large, had no clue who controlled Congress, or who Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Bill Ayers are. While they knew that Sarah Palin had a pregnant teenage daughter and had ...

Special Ed links to a video purporting to show how pig-ignorant Obama voters are.
Of course the questions asked are the really important ones about policy and Iraq and the economy ...
