Sure, I do understand what you're saying. I'm definately not saying they have special insight.
I just look at it as them doing their 'preaching'. Some people look to their pastors, some look to their favorite actor/rockstar, etc. Most, hopefully, examine the issues... but hey, whatever gets them thinking about voting.
I voted for Kerry, but regardless of the outcome, one thing I remain excited about was the voter turnout. Nice to see Americans involved in the democratic process 'in bulk'.
