Well, fortunately, many if not most people know why they would vote for Obama. I have been an Obama supporter from the beginning. Never on the fence, never wondering who has the policies I support the most. I can say the same for my friends and most of my co-workers. For some of us Obama supporters, there is an obvious choice and it has nothing to do with race or confused issues. Thank goodness.
To your point, Lola- I think most elections have confused and sometimes careless voters. MAny people don't even know how many states make up the US.
