140. You will recall the Pew Study |

which discovered that on a number of issues, those voting for pResident Duh were UNAWARE that he opposed issues they supported (the International Criminal Court, the Kyoto Protocols, etc.)....
Sadly, I suspect we have to go more on the attack...it appears swing voters get a visceral thrill from negative campaigning. And you will recall that the GOP ran negative ads almost exclusively (something like 94%)...by contrast, the Democrats ran something like 88% positive and just 12% negative ads. There was a post-election study by somebody that toted up spending (both by party and 527) positive and negative...I'm roughly remembering the numbers, but I'm damned if I can find that study right now.
