Why is it that every time you ask?

a person why they will vote for Obama they Quote something straight out of a Obama TV AD. I have seen very little articulated reasons.

Update:

Thats a real articulated answer "Benji",

"Because it's the change we need"

Thanks for helping me prove my point.

Update 2:

Hey Scarlet why dont you crack open the dictionary

expressed, formulated, or presented with clarity and effectiveness: an articulate thought.

    Because advertising works, and they don't have an opinion of their own. Recent studies show that a person exposed to a face on tv or an ad for less than a second, will make a choice based on looks alone, and this becomes imprinted in their heads, and makes it hard for them to change their mind. Polls also show that people who do not know, or care about the issues, are more likely to vote for Obama.

    Hmmm, 'articulated reasons,' what are they? Those must be the 'JOINTED' reasons, right, since that is what ARTICULATED means. (And you were able to goof it up twice! That takes talent.)

    I wouldn't call others intelligence into question unless you know the difference between articulated and articulate.

    While it's good to see that you referenced the dictionary what seems to be the bigger problem with your 'sentence' appears to be its grammatical structure. You can refer to the answers to a question regarding this in the Words and Wordplay section. The responses are quite educational.

    I say because he has a Harvard and Columbia education. He cares about the needs of families, the children and the elderly. He's not going to go and tick off some more countries that already think we're tyrants.He's not a war monger. Shall I go on......

    Same reason as when they were asked on the Street about Barack Obama but gave not Obama's campaign stand but John McCain's

    stand the people on the Chicago streets all agreed with the McCain

    plan because they though Barack Obama said it..they did not even know who was for what and they just said * yeah I believe Obama is right~P* no matte what the issue was as long as they THOUGHT

    Barack Hussein Obama said it...now there is some really educated

    voters.~P

    He has your best interest on his plate. Isn't it obvious that the McCain/Palin ticket have their OWN agenda?! They are loyal to no one, so out of touch with the "common" man. McCain is a war mongering old school politicial-America CAN NOT be that stupid!!!!!!!!

    Well problem im having is finding someone who would admit they are voting for obama 4 out of about 60 people voting obama actually its 3 the other had voting privlige taken was a felon!

  • 1 decade ago

    I think people think more about why they wouldn't vote for McCain, like the fact that he's very old, meaning he may be out of touch with the younger generation and he may also have health problems during his presidency that mean he wont be able to work at all!

    take off your blindfold a lot of americans see that Obama is for the american people but some don't thats why we vote for whoever we want everybody does not have to agree with the same candidate thats why we vote if Mccain suits you then fine as for me I want to see change in America and in my pockets!

    Because the can't answer a question. They can only deflect them and hope no one notices that they side step every question of substance a nd deflect to McCain to avoid any accountability.

    When I look at BO...all I see is the back of his head.
