Stanford University produced a study that showed that voters are repulsed by politicians who don’t deliver what they promised. According to Stanford, “flip flop”, mealy-mouthed candidates always lose their voter base. David Axelrod should force Obama to read that report titled “Candidate Inconsistency and Voter Choice.” Voters dislike inconsistency. They are infuriated by bait and switch political policy. Obama’s situation can be explained with easy math. The Stanford study says if a politician is perceived as inconsistent in his commitment, he will lose 14% of his support. But Obama was only elected by a margin of 8%. Uh oh!
