What world does this happen in? Certainly not this one!
Edit: I should point out that I am not impugning all voters. Certainly many people, perhaps even most, will vote their conscience and base their decisions on issues. But many voters, far too many in my opinion, will base their decisions on party lines and/or media bias, whether liberal or conservative. It's easier to believe that a celebrity/talkshow host/columnist is always right than it is to research the issues and come to your own decision.
