These voters were chosen for their apparent intelligence/verbal abilities and willingness to express their opinions to a large audience. The rather shocking video below seeks to provide some insight into which information broke through the news media clutter and which did not. <br/><br/>All of this was conducted for a forthcoming documentary on how the news media impacted the 2008 election. Please get on our mailing list and return to this website in the coming months for more information on the film, &quot;Media Malpractice... How Obama Got Elected&quot;<br/><br/>Because obviously interviewing a relative handful of Obama voters, while interesting, is hardly scientific proof of anything, we also commissioned a Zogby telephone poll which asked the very same questions (as well as a few others) with similarly amazing results. <br/><br/>Zogby Poll<br/><br/>512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points <br/><br/>97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates <br/><br/>Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions <br/><br/>57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing) <br/><br/>81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing) <br/><br/>82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing) <br/><br/>88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)<br/><br/>56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing). <br/><br/>And yet..... <br/><br/>Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes <br/><br/>Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter <br/><br/>And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her &quot;house,&quot; even though that was Tina Fey who said that!! <br/><br/>Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct. <br/><br/>Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we &quot;gave&quot; one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Former UT Law Grad Sues Obama, Questions Citizenship [Video]]]></title><link>http://www.plime.com/politics/l/79479/1/</link><description><![CDATA[Philip J.
