Not to sat that only Obama voters are not informed, but the American Public is very uniformed about policies of the candidates.   This is not just on one side of the aisle, but this is a good interpretation of  how people get their news about the candidates.     The Media drives what people think is truth, and willfully neglect to show both sides evenly.   And I am not only picking on Obama supporters, but to not know who runs CONgress, who Reid or Pelosi is is unbelievable.

Here is the sample from Zogby poll to go along with this video.

512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points

97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates

Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions

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 Barack 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 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)

The Republicans need to find a way to get their information out there.  And the best way to do that is to use the New Media; blogs, talk radio and social networks.   We need to get all Conservatives to go out and get the message across to people.
