Don't have time to watch the whole thing right now, but did you notice the first chick that got questioned?
She couldn't afford a real Obama t-shirt, so out came the Magic Marker version. Do you think her prince will buy her a new one once he's in office?

F-ing ignorant!
This is why I believe there should be a basic competency test that you have to pass in order to vote.

Here are the stats from the Zogby poll: * 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) * 82.6 could NOT correctly say that Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing) * 88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing) * 56.1 % could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).And yet…..
* Only 13.7% failed to identify Palin as the person their party spent $150,000 in clothes on * 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!!

Quote from the website:
Quote
"Promote then as an object of primary importance, Institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened."
George Washington, Farewell Address, September 19, 1796
Yes, a misinformed electorate is just as dangerous as an uniformed electorate.

More:
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)

I agree 100%, it just proves how ignorant the general public is and how powerful the media is in influencing people. I don't know about you, but that kinda proves that some were just looking at skin color when choosing who they would vote for. Just my .02 worth.

And I had an argument just the other day with my older son about the Electoral College - he thinks it should be "ratified" (he meant abolished! :( Yes, he went through public education! >:( ) .
The sheer stupidity of the American public is the very reason the EC exists - to prevent a mobrocracy and the pandering of a demogogue to the masses. Son thinks that if the EC rejects bho as a candidate (not bloody likely) due to his not being able to prove his citizenship, there should be riots protesting the "injusticce". As long as it is their own nests that they soil, that is fine.
I'm ten long rural miles from Fargo, although just off the freeway (that's interstate to the rest of you folks not from ND), so if there is any trouble, I should be clear. What with good roads, though, who knows.
