Forget "values voters." The "clueless" may be the people to court.
Bob Herbert, writing in the New York Times, points to a survey by the University of Maryland's Program on International Policy Attitudes found a lot of people went into the voting booth pretty poorly informed.
Nearly 70 percent of President Bush's supporters believed there was "clear evidence" that Saddam Hussein was working closely with Al Qaeda.
A third of the president's supporters believe the US found WMDs in Iraq.
And more than a third believe that a substantial majority of world opinion supported the US invasion of Iraq.
Good examples of belief over fact. (NYT)
