I appreciate that these sorts of pieces may motivate some progressives to help get out the vote, and that is no small thing.
But, I fear these "low-information voters" are being used by the left in exactly the same manner as William Ayers is being used by the McCain campaign. It's fear-mongering any way you slice it. And that only serves to agitate the base.
These uneducated, willfully-ignorant zealots are not a major voting block, for chrissakes! They are a tiny percentage of the population--the percentage that can be seduced by a Sarah Palin at that!. There was never ANY question as to who they were going to vote for. Never. They may have stayed home without Gov. Palin, but no amount of reason would have persuaded any of the folks in this video to vote Democratic on Tuesday.
With three days to go, preaching to the choir is not going to win either candidate any new voters. Why not publish some featured articles that can sway independents and undecideds?
Too nuance-y?
