In reply to the discussion: Paul Krugman- Romney's Sick Joke [View all]obxhead
(8,434 posts)12. 90% of people are not politically savvy in the US.
In fact, I think that's an extreme low ball number. For the most part people only know what they've heard on the cable news for 5 minutes in the morning while getting ready for work.
Yes, Obama used facts, but as far as the average undecided voter at this point is concerned, so did Romney.
I know he didn't, you know he didn't, but we follow politics. If you're undecided at this point, you DON"T follow politics in any way. Those voters don't have any idea where the truth is.
Remember, Obama is a Kenyan Muslim. <---- That's how smart many people are in the US.

I sure hope you're right. I could just not figure out why Obama let him get away with so much.

Mitt's lies have energized my wife. She is pissed. And she's not very political.
