IMO proles get sucked in because they want to be on the winning side. It's an understandable survival instinct and Ayn Rand Institute advertises to it.
There might be a black widow psychology experiment somewhere that explains their suicide march behavior. I dunno.

Emerging from three years of being coddled by the media, insulated from meaningful debate by his administration and being held largely above the fray by the office of the presidency Obama appears to have fallen victim to having become a believer of his own nasty campaign propaganda as well as convinced that the American people had swallowed his lies hook line and sinker while they also failed to see through his facade.
His arrogance caused him to be unprepared for the first debate last Tuesday, it caused him to be unable to come to grips with the idea that he lost soundly on both substance and presentation and it has caused him to continue to believe that his campaign of distraction and character assassination is going to prevent a landslide in November in this climate of economic national despair brought on by his failure to lead.
The voting public was able to see the real Mitt Romney, many for the very first time, last Tuesday as he was able to present himself without the bias of the media and free of the lies and deceptions the Obama campaign has used to try to define him. Obama looked weak trying to rebut some of Romney's attacks by pulling out tired old campaign talking points when Romney was right there to refute them and explain exactly how they are overwhelmingly baseless, and not even very intelligent, lies.
Obama's integrity suffered even further this week, when in the face of a very obvious and growing voter backlash, the magnitude of which has as of yet been unprecedented in this election, continues, along with many of his supporters, to act with immaturity and arrogance by refusing to acknowledge his poor debate performance by first trying to attack Romney's character and truthfulness. Then came the blaming of the mediator, his debate prep partner, even the altitude. Lastly he spent the week running new ads on Big Bird rather than even trying to address anything Romney scored points on last week... and there were a lot of points scored.
So now we near the later part of this week with Benghazi Gate exposing a pathetic and incompetent foreign policy and another reprehensible cover-up of this admin's continued failures and the looming VP debate which offers the prospect for another potentially embarrassing defeat for the Obama campaign.
Team Obama which hadn't yet faced an election challenge prior to 2012 and has very little if anything to show for 4 years in office is now deservedly on it's way out. The wheels are now in motion and the train is picking up speed. Time to sit back and watch a landslide.

The general public is unaware of the waffling the dems have tried to paint as a Romney trait. The media hasn't given Romney the microphone. The only people listening before the debates last week were members of the Obama campaign as they were looking for things to attack. With the help of the media they kept Romney down and muddled their own portrayal of him. They have kept the public confused about him. So now people don't know what the hell Obama is talking about when he tries to bring up some of the stuff he is accusing Romney of flipping on. And unless one is an Obama lover already, Obama's credibility with the truth isn't strong. So Romney is able to come out now and paint his own picture for them any way he wants to. His base doesn't particularly care - all they know is he's not Obama - and they want change. They can iron out the details later.
What is known and becoming known is that Romney is much less of a sleazeball than Obama is. He even bases some of his actions on principles and has the potential to actually lead. People are starting to see this and everyone already knows that Obama has no leadership capabilities or descernible guiding principles.

Waffling? Flip flopping? Are we talking about Romney, or Obama?
And I'm sure Biden will win, after all, he's 'way smarter than you'
