Interesting point was just made, The next few days twitter and facebook will be on fire with facts both made and how much of those facts where true and how many where lies. I wonder how big of an impact that will make in polls done next week
Probably not much. Average people generally don't like getting bogged down with policy details. More important for a candidate is making an emotional connection with the voter and instilling confidence. In that sense it's not much different than game. Do women choose men for logical reasons? Or do they choose a man based on how that man makes her feel. Politics is game as well. If you make the electorate feel good and confident about you, the small details of your policies are not as important. At the end of the day, I'm not sure many people will care whether whether it's true if Romney is really cutting 5 trillion in taxes or not.
