After listening to an hour of Wing nut calls on CSpan, responding to the 30 min Obama spot:
It really breaks down into a few categories - those who have been so beaten down by the last 8 years that they've lost all hope, so when they listen to Obama, they simply can't believe it. They are like an abused partner in a bad relationship - they want to leave it, but can't.

Then there is the so-called "morals" voters who think that Democrats are all various incarnations of satan.

Oh, yes, the final category - simply ignorant.

They seemed to take far more whacko right wing calls than Obama calls. And the marketing dude that they had on to comment on the calls and the ad didn't do well concealing that he is a right wing shill.

It's a place where reasonable educated people can run neck-and-neck with absolute stone cold wingnuts.
