There have been several news reports about the views of the common person regarding the political candidates.
These common people generally fall into one of two camps. On the discouraged Obama voter side, they want him to have passed health care laws that would already have made a difference to their monthly finances while at the same time they are mad at him for not bankrupting the banks or making the rich pay more in taxes. It is apparent that these people do not read, do not understand political realities, nor think about politics beyond what is immediately personal to them.
On the anyone but Obama side, they think they can have tax cuts and increased military spending and get the government out of their business, but do not touch their Medicare. It is apparent that these people might read a little, but do not understand reality and again vote only what satisfies their anger, but without any political philosophy.
It is no wonder that politicians are mired in the muck rather than explicitly debating their political philosophy with some details behind it.
