I went to bed last night dispirited, but I wake this morning angry, very angry

[tavalon]

Last week it was the low information voter who was angry and not going to take it anymore. This week it's the high education voter who is angry and not going to take it anymore. And we know who to be angry at. A timid President who needs to stop being timid right now! A timid administration that needs to stop being timid right now. A timid lame duck Congress that needs to ignore stupid teabagger polls and spend the next two months actually doing a good job, a fast, efficient and appropriate job. You may be short termers but you damn well better not act like it. And a media that is conservative and more than willing to pander to fear and keep low information voters stupid.

We're angry at the low knowledge voter who was angry but didn't understand who to be angry at but also angry at the Republicans and their bastard children, the teabaggers, who used that to their advantage in such a craven and self serving way. We high information voters are going to make your tenure hell, not be threats, but by holding your nose to the grindstone and if you continue to be The Party of No, we will teach the low information voters who and why they should be mad. Actually, we're going to make it our mission to do that anyway. I've had quite enough of the lowest common denominator (read - low information voter) deciding my fate. It's time they understand that you, Republican/Teabagger scum, did this to them and that you likely have no intention of making anything better for them, only for you.

My anger and my pen was not directed at just the low information, easily manipulated voter. Read again, please.

4. they have money and power we have nothing, welcome to surfdom

this is a DLC failure and a Timmy Kaine failure and a circle dems failure, nobody else, thats my opinion. the Obama admin was our only hope and it wasnt an important enough issue to them. they wanted to move forward rather than show the world what crimes Bush and the GOP have done to our country and the rest of the world as well.

stop thinking establishment dems are on our side they are not!

I dont think we have a chance in hell with either party.

5. It's serfdom and no thanks

This is war and I will probably not win but I will die trying. See Cenk Unger's fantastic video in the political videos section. I stand with him and I will fight beside him. I will fight beside Obama if he chooses to come out and fight, otherwise, I will fight without him. My "team" fucked up as badly, though differently than the other side. There is no side fighting for me but that's not going to stop me from fighting.

8. You may want to rethink your premise.

Or at least try to find some data to support it.

Exit polls this time around showed that while those with post-graduate education preferred (D) (by a small margin), it was those lacking a high-school diploma who most sided with (D). The most "low education" voter was more likely a (D) voter than the "highest education" voter.

The "donut hole"--with a high school degree, some college, or a 4-year degree--went for (R).

I'm not sure I want to put the "donut hole" in the "low education voter" camp.

Now, this is national data, not precinct-by-precinct, and it accounts for fewer than half the states.

Still, it's the closest we're going to come to actual data.
