Interesting bit from the WSJ

Don't Know? Vote O.

A new poll from Zogby International shows Obama voters to be shockingly ignorant of political trivia involving their own candidate:

83% failed to correctly answer that Obama had won his first election by getting all of his opponents removed from the ballot, and 88% did not correctly associate Obama with his statement that his energy policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry. Most (56%) were also not able to correctly answer that Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground.

Nearly three quarters (72%) of Obama voters did not correctly identify Biden as the candidate who had to quit a previous campaign for President because he was found to have plagiarized a speech, and nearly half (47%) did not know that Biden was the one who predicted Obama would be tested by a generated international crisis during his first six months as President. . . .

57% of Obama voters were unable to correctly answer that Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate.

Wait, it gets worse. The test was multiple choice!

Most Obama voters did recognize John McCain and Sarah Palin, respectively, as the guy who didn't know how many houses he owned and the lady with the pricey clothes.

And it's not as if these questions were really hard, like asking Obama's middle name. Even we don't know the answer to that one.

this fits with the people around me who voted for him too... :-\

One can only hope that the elation, empowered feelings, and "Camelot" dreams of his election by "the people" do not end as just a fantasy.
