Apparently, those southern rednecks are just as ignorant as Democrats say they are. It appears, however, that it is the Democrats themselves who are making that gross generalization accurate.
According to a new Rasmussen poll, 21% of the voters in South Carolina are dumb enough to vote for a completely unqualified, possibly intellectually impaired candidate.
Rasmussen reports the details:
Republican Senator Jim DeMint earns his highest level of support yet in his bid for reelection in South Carolina.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely South Carolina Voters finds DeMint, who is seeking a second six-year term, earning 64% of the vote, while Democrat Alvin Greene earns 21% support. Ten percent (10%) prefer another candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.
In the 2004 election, DeMint’s Democrat opponent got 44.1% of the vote. Since Greene is now getting 21% of the vote, that means that half of South Carolina’s Democrats are willing to overlook the fact that he is dimmer than a 25-watt bulb and give him their votes. What kind of thought process leads these people to a conclusion that says, “I think he’ll do a bang up job representing me and my state in the United States Senate.”
But if could be worse. Looks like damn near every California Democrat is going to vote for Barbara Boxer and she’s only marginally smarter than Alvin Greene. And that’s giving her the benefit of the doubt.
