Although this post discusses the election in general, it is not meant to instigate a general discussion of the election.\u00a0 It is… a non-political post on politics.<\/p>\n

In talking to various people about the upcoming presidential election and their preferences, I was stuck by an odd response I kept hearing – in various forms – over and over again.\u00a0 I decided to do an extensive, double blind study – exhausting all resources in order to generate a valid conclusion.\u00a0 Following this study, I now believe we are witnessing a new election dynamic (or at the very least a dynamic not previously seen in our<\/em> life time).<\/p>\n

Editor’s Note: By “extensive” I mean I asked anyone who walked into, out of or near my office doorway.\u00a0 I did not actually go the whole distance and get up off my seat.\u00a0 Also, by “double blind” I mean to say neither I nor the person I interviewed had a clue what we were talking about.\u00a0 I imagine my idea of “exhaustive” needs no further explanation…<\/em><\/p>\n

In all seriousness, when I meet someone voting for either candidate I ask them a straightforward question: “Why are you voting for that candidate?”\u00a0 Even though I spoke with a full spectrum of ideologies, I heard a similarity in all their responses.\u00a0 If the person was an Obama supporter they would provide answers such as “four more years of Bush… disastrous deregulation by the current administration… conservative duplicity with Wall Street” and so on.\u00a0 If the person was a McCain supporter they would provide answers such as “tax and spend Democrats… redistribution of wealth… lack of liberal strength in the face of terrorism” and so on.\u00a0 I rarely got an affirmative answer with regard to their candidate of choice.\u00a0 In other words: they were not voting for <\/em>someone so much as voting against<\/em> someone else.<\/p>\n

That people cast their vote for someone they are not particularly excited about is not new.\u00a0 Nor is casting a vote solely in opposition to the other candidate.\u00a0 What is groundbreaking (and, so far as I know, not being reported) is that this year, for the first time Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
