More insightful and amusing commentary from Bob:

Take a look at this fascinating follow-up to the ‘How Obama got elected’ controversy. In short, the new information confirms what the old information did — that Obama voters only knew what the corrupt, far left media told them. Which wasn’t a hell of a lot.

One of the big criticisms about the original ‘How Obama got elected’ polling was that McCain voters weren’t polled also to see if they in fact were more knowledgeable. So a Wilson Research Poll was conducted on McCain voters using the exact same questions as from the Zogby poll which only targeted Obama voters.

The results were astonishing. There is no question that those who voted for McCain did so because they had a grasp of the issues. Obama voters on the other hand blindly voted for ‘Hope & Change’ or because voting for Obama was the cool thing to do.

Obama won the election and I say good for him. However, the idea that he won because voters liked his position on the issues is total nonsense.

Barack Obama won because he turned himself into a pop culture phenomenon. He could have stood on stage and read the phone book as long as he sprinkled some “hope” and “change” in there somewhere.

I never met a single Obama supporter during the run up to the election who could give me an actual reason they were supporting Obama. In fact, the only answer I ever got from anyone was that he stood for “hope and change.”

Having said that, what he pulled off would not have been possible had he not run a nearly flawless campaign, totally dominated the Internet, and had the media in his back pocket.
