Why are so many democrats and liberals treating this election like American idol?

Question

flash over substance

Answer 1

This is a question asked by one who is running scared because their candidate is behind. Obama is still the front runner. Catch him if you can.

Answer 2

And why do Republicans believe that doing the same thing for 4 more years with a different guy represents change?

Let me point out something to you guys.

John McCain at peacetime = maverick

John McCain at war time = Bush

John McCain at election time = whatever you want him to be

You won't see more maverick positions from McCain in your lifetime, or whatever's left of his...war for a hundred years = no maverick, more bush.  

Answer 3

You say that after McCain picks Sarah "Flash" Palin for VP?

Answer 4

It shows the mentality of the weak-minded and of course----the vulnerable youth.

Answer 5

Because they have to be flashy when they have no experience. You know the saying "people talk loud when they want people to think the're smart"?  Is the same sort of thing.

Answer 6

Because this is the way the left-wing media has been training them!

Answer 7

I can only attribute it to the Dumbing down of America.  They've taken it too far.  

Answer 8

Where do you get that from.

Its all about substance.

Obama has a plan to get out of Iraq

Obama has a plan to combat the bad economy

McCain wants to stay in Iraq

McCain doesnt think the economy is bad

so this election is really " change vs. Stay the course"

Answer 9

Why do Republicans and Conservatives do the same thing? In case you haven't noticed this is the new direction of Politics in the 21rst Century.

A large segment of the population doesn't have a clue as to what the issues are anymore and neither party is helping to clarify the issues either. They are too busy trying to be the most popular kid on the block and attacking their opposition. The voting public is left uninformed and after the election they are left holding the bag.

This country seriously needs some form of Election accountability reform. Elections have turned into a Circus and we are all the clowns with our leaders taking on the role of Ringmaster.

The fact that these people are going to be leading the most powerfull nation in the world (with all the responsibilities that entails) seems to be totally lost on them.

Answer 10

They're shallow?

Answer 11

Barack Obama is the American Idol candidate.
