They confessed what?

Again from Dionne, another exit-poll gem -- this one perhaps the most glittering, and unquestionably the most astonishing, of them all:

[V]oters who said campaign advertising was important to their decision voted for Romney by better than 2 to 1.

This reference lacks mention of what percentage of voters actually confessed to interviewers that "campaign advertising was important to their decision." So, notwithstanding the imbalanced 2 to 1 statistic, the overall number of confessing and apparently unembarrassed voters may have been rather small. Still, that a quantifiable number could have been so unaware of the two more prominent campaigns' utter butchery of truth in their advertising offensives says something about this electorate's raw obliviousness to political news in print and public affairs programming on the tube.

These people are the propagandist's dream, and the small-r republican's nightmare.
