he asked if they would vote for Obama one hand and the other guy put his hand over his mouth as if he were afraid. One woman says she will vote for Mccain because Palin is a mother.

4. I had to turn it off
the bulk of these folks were pretty clueless about Social Security and to watch them trying to answer Lutz's questions was frustrating at best. Plus, I don't much care for Frank Lutz of "change inheritance tax to DEATH tax to get the people to buy into it" fame.

7. One lady says get older. He's 47 and not the youngest pres. ever!
Plus everybody says "more specifics". I guess they want charts and stuff like Ross Perot.

9. I was watching some of this and
Putz Lutz (who I can't stand) was clearly doing leading questions. And the group-think in there had people basically parroting one another and if one gave a different response, the others after that person would parrot the new response. :eyes:
