They were the new kids on the block and they were promising everyone the moon--so people figured, hey, let's give them a try. It wasn't about indifference to the outcome, it certainly wasn't about supporting their party platform--it was about being stuck in a seemingly never-ending spiral of economic malaise and political paralysis, and wanting a change.
