Mr. Klein
Thank you for the heads up.
Question:
Doesn't that number scare the dickens out of you?

Seriously, with all your careful work, and that of A.T. and Rush, and FOX, and NRO, et al, are 47 percent of Americans THAT out of the loop?

That number scares me to death at this stage of the game.
My contributions to AmSpec are the best bucks I can spend in these days. I genuinely appreciate your work...
BUT!
Evidently...we Americans are still within the "margin of error"??????????????

That seems absolutely insane to me.....absolutely suicidal as a society.
Thoghts?

When I followed polling for the 2008 elections it was Rasmussen's pole that was on targe. Gallop leans Democratic ( in my view ) and yet Obama is l47%. Not so good. Yet I would agree that even this number is high. Here is the deal: you have to calculate the number of Maxist type ( yes communists ) true believers, the people who want something for nothing and finally the truly ignorant shooting themselves in the foot types who still believe Obama is "the one" to really get a feel for the reason for even this much support.
