Judging by those numbers…of those that responded and have decided on who they want to vote for you should get a 57.76 to 42.23 difference in favor of Obama.

I’ve personally ecountered more people who are bigoted, rather than those who think that McCain is better on protecting U.S. jobs or that both candidates are equally representative of the same ruling oligarchy. Again, I personally hope that you, nomolos, and I are all wrong, and the critical midwest states go for Oboma.</p> Well, neither of us will ever know for sure why people vote the way they do.

I grew up in a blue collar family, with Dad as officer in the local International Typographical Union. I was a member of UAW while working through college. I am stronly pro union and am coming increasingly to believe the protectionism might be the only way to provide some semblance of a fairer sustainable national economy.</p> I hope you’re right, but I don’t think anyone has talked down to them.

Persons will vary in deciding whether its better to pick the better poison, or just vote green, or just sit things out feeling disenfranchised. I am hoping folks will vote for Obama though.</p> Noone speaks for the whole class.
