Possibly Horrifying Findings About Independent Voters

The New Republic has a brief article on their site about independent voters. The subhead of the article, "What if these voters are just a clueless horde?," seems tongue-in-cheek but pretty much summarizes why this is so scary. Money quote: "At a time of economic peril, when one party wants to protect the essential structure of our limited welfare state and the other party seeks to destroy it, most independents, according to this poll, appear to be seduced by the last thing they have heard." Yikes!
