The AbqJournal poll found the following:

"The poll found 73 percent of those supporting Madrid believed the Iraq issue was "very important" to the race, while 47 percent of Wilson backers said it was very important.

Only 7 percent of the Madrid backers and 17 percent of the Wilson supporters said Iraq was "somewhat unimportant" or not important at all in the race.

From this, one could infer the majority of Heather Wilson's supporters are living in a State of Denial.

My question is this; for those 47% of Wilson supporters who think the war is a very important issue, what is it that you have in common with the majority of Wilson voters? Also, if you know any of those voters, could you please ask one of them what they think is the most important issue in this election?

The 47% are the ones that still think Iraq/ Saddam was responsible for 9-11.
They're the ones that still think there were WMD in Iraq and that the weapons are either still not found or the weapons were "transported" out of the country to either Syria or Iran.
The 47% are the folks that think the solution to this holy war is to nuke Mecca and even most of the muslim countries.
A good 30% of those think that W is serving the will of God and is bringing on the second coming of Christ.
