I found this to be very interesting as well. You would be surprised by how many people voted for Obama but then voted for King and Reed.
You can vote for who you want, but please explain to me why you would vote for a Democratic presidential nominee but still vote for a Republican Senator and Representative. King and Obama are completely different in their beliefs.
My take is many people are voting Obama for "change" and he seems to be the popular choice. People are then voting for King because they have heard about him and is popular around here. Unfortunately, many did not vote based on the issues I presume.
I hope many of you will vote more responsibly when you are able to vote in two years.
