What's a Dumb Reason Why Voters Should Pick Obama over McCain?

[Frank Booth]

It looks like we're in a lot of trouble with the dumb voters, who make up a sizable percentage of the voting population. Attacks on issues like McCain's ties to lobbyists won't work with these people, since they don't know what a lobbyist is and don't care.

How can Obama appeal to these people? Should he make an ad highlighting how McCain's a little shrimp? Maybe these voters would like Obama more if they found out he's at least 6 inches taller than the the feeble old man.

Beyond that, I'm stumped. It's really tough to come up with dumb reasons to vote for Obama, since between "drill here, drill now," "pitbull with lipstick" and all the rest of their crap, the McCain campaign really has this covered.

1. He's a lot cuter?

Oh, yeah, and he can BODYSURF!!

helpfully,
Bright

5. Cuter, I like. Bodysurfing might work with people near the coasts,

but people elsewhere will think it looks kinda foreign. It's too bad Obama doesn't like ATVs. Pictures of that would be gold.

2. Obama will cut their taxes.

[Frank Booth]

6. That's a real reason, though, and apparently it's not working.

They'd rather just believe McCain's lies on the topic.

[treestar]

21. And McCrap will tax their health benefits as income

[Jackpine Radical]

3. Because he'd be more fun to shoot hoops with.

[abbiehoff]

4. He's way more likeable.

Wouldn't you rather have a beer with Obama.

Of course McCain could get you a better deal on the beer.

[glowing]

7. He'll give you a pay raise? He'll lower your taxes? He looks better and sounds better

than McCain for 4 yrs? His wife is hotter than his wife.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

8. He will cut everyone a check

He won't, of curse, but that's always the best "dumb" reason to vote Democratic.

[sunnybrook]

9. I can't think of dumb reasons

it just makes sense to vote for Obama. guess that doesn't help...

[sunnybrook]

13. oh wait...

1. Cindy McCain dresses like a desperate housewife. She even showed cleavage in one of the recent shots I've seen. So beneath a First Lady!

[my3boyz]

10. People on another board say they are scared of Obama. So called DEMS

are saying that.

[Starry Messenger]

14. scared of what?

His evil death ray? ;) He's a lawyer? That's always scary!!

[my3boyz]

18. They say he terrifies them when it comes to foreign policy. Personally

I think they are racists that just don't want to admit it. There is this one lady in TN (Same town I grew up in...Millington) who supported Hillary. She is in her 70's. She keeps repeating that Obama terrifies her and that she is scared for the country if he is elected. Then she praises Palin. YET..she claims she is a democrat.

[Starry Messenger]

20. That's sad. McCain's foreign policy is the same as Bush's

And Palin makes them both look like tea-drinking diplomats. People are funny!

17. (shrug) Race trumps ideology for a lot of white folks. We've seen it before...1

And we'll see it again.

[LooseWilly]

11. If we understood dumb

Democrats would do a lot better in elections...

Personally, I'm too dumb about dumb.

Maybe challenge McCain to a boxing match for the Presidency?... poor McCain unable to lift his arms high enough to cover himself from taller Obama's reach...

[Starry Messenger]

16. Hi honey!

:hi:

MPK

[1corona4u]

12. Because he has pretty campaign signs...

;-)

[NYC_SKP]

15. I GET your post....Brilliant. Sect'y of state Paris Hilton?

Let me put on my stupid hat, I'll try to come up with something...

[Overseas]

19. LOOKS LIKE is the operative word. Right-owned media working overtime

to pretend that the RNC pumped culture war is real. (Or at least that it is bigger than it really is.) Give more coverage to Republican campaigning. Interview select groups to slant stories. They are pushing hard to create the impression that the Palin thing has worked.

I think they are pushing shamelessly to advance the Republican ticket because they know it is in a lot of trouble.

[treestar]

22. How about the one house, one spouse

Kids in the White House. That will be adorable and fun. He is a family man.

[ncteechur]

23. "Only men should be President of the United States."

You said dumb reason. This could appeal to chauvinistic voters.

[BlooInBloo]

24. Because he's taller.

[POAS]

28. Putin will have to look up to him!

[rucky]

25. The undecided voters I've spoken to...

are deciding who they can trust.

Sorry to say, that it's easier to convince voters that you can't trust X, than it is to convince them that you can trust Y. That's why the negative campaigning works so well.

I'd stick with a "Can't trust McCain" message to sway 'em.

[demwing]

26. A Stupid Reason ? Here ya go: "Obama will help keep African American...

military recruitment at an all time high. What black man wouldn't want to serve under a black Commander in Chief? We need black people to keep joining the Army so we can keep pre-emptively invading countries full of brown people."

[medicswife]

33. OMFG You just made me laugh my ass off.

That one might actually work here at Fort Campbell, KY!!!!!

Jeeeeeesus Christ!

:rofl:

[budkin]

27. He can sink mad jumpers on the court!

[julialnyc]

29. Obama is cooler and Oprah loves him

So does Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner,Kanye, West, Scarlett Johanson, Halle Berry, etc....

McCain has Chuck Norris

[sunnybrook]

30. definitely the Oprah thing

If you are talking to a female voter

[azmouse]

31. Michelle has more class than Cindy and would be a better First Lady.

And the Obama's daughters are adorable.

[FrenchieCat]

32. Because the young people are concerned about their future.......

and these young people are pretty smart and motivated. They don't want to die in more wars.
