I think this phenomenon is largely due to the fact that our options are so bad. If you are voting for Obama, you are voting for some really bad ideas. If you are voting for McCain, you are voting for some, other, really bad ideas. I voted _against_ the guy I think is more dangerous, not _for_ anyone. I get the impression that this is true of many people. If the only reason a person votes for McCain, is because she is horrified at the idea of Obama being President, it starts to make a bit more sense that she feels that a vote for Obama is an attack on her well-being. Or vice-versa.
