6. I'm going to use a broad definition of savvy

I'd say that about 40% of the voters know they're going to vote Democratic in every general election, and about 40% know they're going to vote GOP each time. That makes 80% who know what they want, and in my definition, savvy.

What's crazy is the 20% in the mushy middle who make up their minds the weekend before an election, and are so clueless that they really think that it's a coin toss as to which party they elect. Those are the folks who make elections go from one party to another, and they're usually motivated by which party/candidate scares them the least.
