They voted for Bush... because they didn't know better?
Wave upon wave of commentary describes the election victory of George Bush as a symptom of the stupidity or ignorance of voters.

But if you tell people that to vote for one candidate rather than other is stupid, you are as likely as not to provoke a backlash.
