Then theirs the "lemming" effect, where voters vote for the "popular" candidate, which they are told from the media, which gets their info from the campaign headquarters of said candidate.

Looking at the turnout from the primary this past week, it's no wonder. People are going to vote the party line, even if that party is dragging them down to the poor house, taking away their rights and giving their money and jobs to illegal aliens.

Ask anyone WHY they are voting for a particular candidate and the most common answer, after "I don't know" will be something along the lines of "I like the way he/she looks/sounds!"
Very few know about the "favorite" candidate because they either don't want to do the research, or the candidate doesn't do interviews without prepared questions and answers.

This state is so totally screwed, and without clean-sweeping the state house, nothing will ever change!
