That's a good point, there are some people for whom the economy is not their #1 priority, and they might vote Democrat because they are more concerned about slaughtering 4,000 unborn babies a day, or giving civilian trials to captured terrorists, or using tax dollars to fund pornography.

But the exit polling showed that the economy was most people's #1 priority. I still haven't seen one person respond to my original question. I'm genuinely trying to understand why someone concerned about the economy, could vote Democrat. It makes zero sense to me, and I can usually understand what others are thinking.
