So they'll vote. For who? Anyone's guess.

Well, the really angry ones are the minority.... and they will vote, that's true. Many, most, will vote for Obama. I few will pull "An AKAK" when he voted for Ted Strickland to punish the Republicans for running what's his dumbass. (There will be plenty who do that the other way just to punish the Republicans, not necessarily over McCain. In my case in the govorner election it had little to do with Taft, his time was over... whatever, everyone has their reasons)
Reality is that Obama isn't polilng as well as the Democratic party overall, that's not good.
That means that there are a group of "disaffected" democrats out there, and some might vote but not push a button in the big election... its not always the lesser of 2 evils...
Remember 2000 when there was the attempt to gauge "voter intent" in Florida? And the argument was that was it was unlikely that the intent wasn't to vote for no one if they got to the polls? It happens, my mom is very good at voting "none of the above"
