They have no idea what PFGBest, LIBOR, Derivatives and CDS are or how they affect them either.
The majority of Joe & Jane Public are in a carefree, comatose bliss as long as their little piece of the world remains in harmony. That is what the polling data proves.
And as Sigaba pointed out, Romney suckles from the breast of Big Money just like the Dems, and that includes many of the same breast as the Dems feed from. Romney isn't going to upset that apple cart.
As for Corzine being merely incompetent......look at the inside shills (coverup team) who did the investigation and who was the trustee. Those folks are covering up more asses than Corzines. If Johnny's head were to roll it would be a domino effect that would reach all the way to Capital Hill...it might even make the crash in 2008 look like child's play.
So what you are voting for this Election is again HOPE & CHANGE. As with all elections it is a blind vote because in reality you know that all those campaign promises are little more than a sales ad with super fine print you can't read. And the choices you have been given are the very radical Obama or his less radical twin Mitt Romney.
And guess what, just like health care you won't find out what is actually up Romney's sleeve until he is in office.

That's the thing.......to me it appears to be a choice between a Big Mac or a Whopper made of poop....either way, it's a poop sandwich.
Although I have to admit I'd LIKE to choose Romney.....but as you say it's like a choice between worse or worser.
I have to admit to thinking that it's almost a waste of time/energy to invest it in either of the two candidates, and best invested in disrupting the special interest money chain.
To be honest, I'd vote for pretty much anyone sight unseen if they were a decent human being, were surrounded by at least adequate advisors who listened to relevant SMEs, and they weren't corrupted by, or beholden to, special interest money.
How do you disrupt the special interest money chain?
I like checking out this website:
www.opensecrets.org
It helps me understand which politician is owned by whom.
Financial advisors have to disclose their holdings on TV when pumping an investment......wouldn't it be cool to see a Senator on CSPAN or anywhere in the media compelled to disclose relevant campaign donations when speaking or voting?
