[WS:] Yup. This pretty much explains it all. I do not think most voters paid any attention to the so called "issues," and if they did, they heard what they wanted to hear. I went to an Obama rally in Baltimore with some liberal friends of mine. They were quite impressed by his "program" and when I pointed out that it was quite Republican (e.g. his health care reform) they thought I was a malcontent.
