ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!

There was a poll in USA Today asking: Since John and Elizabeth Edwards have released the news that Elizabeth's cancer is back, are you more likely to vote for him, less likely to vote for him, or it doesn't matter? ARE YOU SERIOUS??? If whether or not Elizabeth Edwards has cancer makes someone more likely to vote for her husband is just absurd! Are these type of factors really what voters look for when casting a final vote? What about whether or not John Edwards has put forth a great anti-global warming effort? Or maybe he has a great new tax reform? But noooo.. America wants to look at his wife having cancer.. making them for likely to vote for her husband in the 2008 presidential election. This is such an obvious example of how everything plays a part in politics.. even the stupid shit that shouldn't at all.
