The Guardian is great for coverage of the US election. They've got reporters all over the US talking to shop keepers, restaurant patrons, plant managers, etc. And they're willing to talk to the voters rather than just soundbite them and punditize. Here's an example from the great state of Missouri in which a plant manager --in charge of a large ethanol manufacturing plant, so a pretty responsible position -- goes on about Obama not only being Muslim, but also being the AntiChrist as referenced in the Book of Revelations.
I am not kidding. Just click the link to watch the video.

Here's that stat from March saying that only 10% think he's a Muslim.
And apparently that 10% makes up the bulk of rally attendees...what a base.
McCain and Obama both had rallies the other day in Denver. McCain's drew 4,000 while Obama's drew 100,000. Amazing. The "base" is basically ignorant, fearul, racists who'll become total wingnuts after they lose. I have a feeling the Republicans are going to be fragmented for quite some time.
