From the Associated Press:
Family, friends, and work are all more important than this election.
WASHINGTON - If matching presidential candidates to their positions on basic issues were like a "Jeopardy!" category, most Americans wouldn't earn a single dollar.I find it strangely comforting to know that as we in the Blogosphere spout our heated nonsense about Bush and Kerry, most voters not only aren't paying much mind to us, but don't even know the difference between what Bush would do over the next four years, and what Kerry would do.
Importing drugs from Canada? That's a Kerry issue, but nearly half either didn't know or thought Bush also supported changing federal law to allow for drug imports from Canada.
Making abortions more difficult to obtain? Nearly one-third of those surveyed didn't know Bush alone supports more restrictions on abortion.
Eliminating the tax on estates? Two-thirds didn't know that's a Bush proposal.
Family, friends, and work are all more important than this election.
