We still use a paper ballot with a pencil here in NH.
Aren't we all the "average voter"? The 2012 election is decided. It's not the average voter we need to worry about It's the putz who believed and continues to believe the political bovine flatulence the spills from the moths of our "leaders". These are the people who don't think, they just believe the talking heads. All these people want to do is pop a couple pop tops and sit their fat bellys in front of a stick and ball sport on tv and let some one else run their lives blissfully unaware that their being sold down the river. Is this Chi town politician going to be re-elected? You damn right he is. And you can hold ME to that predition.

No, we are nothing like the "average voter", The fact that you are reading and posting in this thread shows you are a "nonstandard" voter. We are the ones politicians hate, we make an effort to be informed.
Here's a little example that you can duplicate for yourself to show what an incompetent azzhole the "average voter" is. Every person I've talked to that voted for Obummer I have asked Why ? They immediately either start an anti W diatribe like FQ does, or they out right say, "Because he wasn't Bush.".
Who were those candidates in 08 again ? I'm getting old, but as I remember it, the Republican candidate was named McCain.
And he was a Screaming Rino who could never be expected to continue George W's policies.
His last claim to fame before the election was being excoriated ( Cussed at

) for trying to push through an amnesty of aliens.
His "campaign finance reform Bill" didn't address one cent of campaign finance, instead , it was a brazen attempt to muzzle popular opinion.
53% of these dumb shits voted against some one who wasn't even in the race.
