I thought the blind devotion to this politician was bad and then I read this.

Get a grip, folks.

How is it blind devotion? It seemed like these people knew about his policies and his positions. They are informed about this man. This devotion is anything but blind.

What's very interesting... is that some of the blue-blog hater websites out there have used this story, to attack places like FOX News, for reporting this story.

And while it's only superficially relevant to this story, it is interesting to see how a smear builds. The NYTimes reports a story like this... other networks pick up on it, using the language of the story... and then the hater crowd, attacks those news organizations, while ignoring the initial NYTimes report, and hoping to fool the audience.

And that's my rant.

I guess I can kinda agree with you, but the fact that a lot of people aren't going to vote for him solely because of his name is a problem. It's definitely not silly in that sense.
