Another word for "stupidity" is "ignorance." I think ignorance is what could get him re-elected. People don't know *why* they believe what they believe or why they have their opinion. They can't articulate their reasoning. I don't think most understand what's going on to make an informed decision...which makes them an easy target to be manipulated by the media, etc. I think there should be a simple test before you can be able to vote. Questions should include very simple things like, "Who has the majority in the House?", "Who has the majority in the Senate?", etc. There's a really good documentary called "Media Malpractice" and at the end it showed a lot of exit interviews of people who just voted in 2008 and they couldn't answer the most basic questions. A lot thought the Republicans had the majority in Congress. They couldn't say which candidate thought there were 54 states (Obama), but they knew who supposedly spent $100,000 on their wardrobe :grumble
