Here's the deal

Based upon my observations of local/regional politics I know that most people are 94 percent clueless about how things work. My percentages may have a certain margin of error, but they're no more errant than the jackwagon that lives down the block from me who thinks he knows what's going on. And, I guarantee you, he ain't up to speed.

So, extrapolate that out nationally and you're dealing with margins of error that rival whale shark measurements in the relative grand scheme of things.

Disclaimer: I think that regardless of cluelessness, however one votes it all evens out in the long run, because you have those people who study and ruminate, froth and stew, about the issues and the candidates-And, they come out on both sides of the aisle(s), some intelligently, some legitimately, some righteously, some fullashit. Therefore, excepting the retards and psychos who skew things totally, cluelessness is no worse a basis for voting than being actually informed. Because, that's the way we roll. What people fail to realize is that the human race is fallible, is not essentially fixable and is fraught with dingleberries with which it has to deal.There is no obamacare to remove dingleberries. Or, it may BE dingleberries.

He who prevails, prevails. And when those who we think are more worthy, even though they may reek of festering skunk remains, win, it's all good. For at least four years.

Plus ca change. Plus c'est la meme.
