Interesting


The presidential race is already heating up, and most of the candidates have unique qualities (i.e. Barack Obama is black, Hillary is a woman, etc.). So a recent Gallop poll asked if you would vote for someone who is well qualified if the person was also one of the following:

Black
Jewish

A homosexual
Hispanic
An atheist

Mormon
A woman
72 years of age
Married for third time

You can say "yes" to more than one obviously.

So which characteristic hurts your the most? Results. (Hint: Gays and the elderly have a lot in common.)

The poll suggests that being a Mormon (Romney), 72 years old (McCain) or on a third marriage (Giuliani), is a bigger liability for voters than being black or a woman. Personally I don't buy it. Just shows how unreliable polls are. I believe that respondents won't admit that they won't vote for a woman or black.

God forbid we have a Mormon president but I could vote for a Muslim with big ears that is a mulatto and believes in partial birth abortion at my expense.

Don't confuse Wise County ignorance with the attitudes of the nation. 3:18 is a classic example of Wise thinking (is that a oxymoron?)
