i think that on a subconscious level, people don't really believe anything. everyone was tired of Bush fumbling around like a retarded ape and just like when they voted Bush into office, they are concerned about the future. When terrorism was the primary concern, Bush got re-elected because he was able to better convey that he was going to protect everyone. Now the economy, jobs, homes etc are the issue a man with charisma, compassion and sincerity of a televangelist looks into the camera and says "i understand and i'm going to fix your life" and people buy into it. i don't really think it goes much deeper than that.
