Digby: Remedial Democracy

Scott Winship has an interesting article in The Democratic Strategist today in which he dissects one of those polls that measures how stupid Americans are about politics. And boy are they stupid about politics --- only one in ten knows who Denny Hastert is. But the good news is that they aren't measurably more stupid than they were in the 40's and 50's when there was a lot more illiteracy and many people didn't graduate from High School. I suppose that's good news.
