Theory: Evidence!
I’ve been monitoring a Saint Paul Politics discussion group.
It’d seem that turnout at DFL caucuses was incredibly heavy - and the Obama vote was staggering, with blowouts even worse than the one he notched statewide.
Anecdotally, most of these new voters seemed to be fairly clueless; many of them just dropped in, cast their ballots, and left (legal in the DFL, not in the GOP, although many tried).
Further evidence of my theory that Obama is the next Jesse Ventura; he’ll draw a slew of ignorant, clueless “voters” with his vaporous, vacuous “message” who would otherwise not have the faintest idea where the polls are. It’s interesting that the raw numbers of voters dropped in 2002. with Ventura out of the race.
Which, to some, is a good thing. But I have to ask - are uninformed, clueless “voters” good for the country?
They’re good for the DFL and the Tics, obviously; a lot of Republicans, myself included, started as Democrats until they got a clue.
Well, we’ll see.
