Why do people who know little about Obama still vote for him?

I'm curious why you think people may vote for Obama (or for McCain) w/o doing the prior research. I'm interested in knowing whether people think there vote is insignificant and that thorough research is simply a waste of time. Just curious.

They actually believe his nonsense that he will take money from the rich and give it to them. They are being deceived and they don't even realize it. It's very sad. They also believe McCain is a 3rd term Bush and if you really look at Obama's stance right now, he is more like Bush than McCain is.

Because they are followers and are completely uneducated as to what is taken place. Most democrats are only democrats because that is what their parents were so they just follow in their same shoe's. Obama is an excellent speaker and that is about all that he has going for him. I think they need to speak on a different level and re-phrase everything so that the young people can clearly understand what is going on. I also think we need to do away with the democratic an republican parties, kick everyone out of congress and start over it has become nothing more then a game to see which party will win especially with congress what ever happen to doing what was best for the country. Congress is already a big part of our downfall. Remember these presidents can't do much of anything without congress's approval.So, if you have a republican president and the democrats hold congress nothing will get done that term and vice verse

I didn't know much about either McCain or Obama.

I'm voting for Obama after thoroughly researching the two and listening to them. Obama will be an outstanding leader. McCain is dangerous and narrow.
