Uninformed Voters

Steve Benen asks why Clinton is the Democratic front-runner when a)ending the Iraq War is the most important issue for a majority of the base and b)she is the most hawkish candidate on the war. He blames it on uninformed voters.

I suspect some will suggest that this is an elitist attitude — I’m accusing the majority of people of being uninformed about the details. I don’t think, however, that’s elitist; I tend to think it’s a reality bolstered by the data.


Sadly, this is not something likely to go away anytime soon, whether someone is a Democrat or Republican.
