15% of Ohio Rs are Delusional

15% of Ohio Republicans Say Gov. Romney is More Responsible Than Pres. Obama For Killing Bin Laden

47% of Ohio Republicans are "not sure".  Ok I can at least rationalize the "not sure"s.  Maybe you think Pres. Obama had zero impact on the killing of Bin Laden, and since "equal" is not an option you go with "not sure".  Even that seems like a bit of a stretch but I guess its possible.  I wish there were a follow up essay question for those who answered Gov. Romney was more responsible to explain what his role was.  Original poll is here.

What was the purpose of asking a question like that in an opinion poll?  To demonstrate that 15% of Ohio Republicans are delusional?  Mission accomplished.

Later Note:  ok I guess if you think that Pres. Obama impeded the killing of Bin Laden then Gov. Romney doing nothing could be interpreted as being more "responsible" for killing him.  But by that definition 300MM US citizens would also be more "responsible".

Another Late Note:  I wonder how many delusional folks there are running around in Ohio?   According to the Census Bureau as of Nov 2010 Ohio had a population of 8.6MM of which 5.6MM were registered voters.  According to Gallup 40.5% of Ohioans self identify as either Republican or lean Republican.  (In Ohio you do not declare a party when you register to vote.)  PPP gave a choice of D / R / Independent or Other and 37% selected R so that is pretty close to what Gallup shows.  So that would mean there are approximately 15% * 40.5% *5.6MM = 340,200 delusional Ohioans.  Yeah..having gone to college in Ohio and I could believe that.
