Voting Against Your Interests

Of all the stories told this election cycle, the one that I think really hasn't been told is this: how Joe the Plumber, Tito the Builder, and Jen the security guard all are supporting McCain against their best interests.

Joe the Plumber admits that under Barack Obama, he would get a tax cut, and he would not under McCain. Tito the Builder will suffer under McCain's immigration policy. Jen the Security Guard wants McCain as commander-in-chief despite the fact that McCain will keep the Iraq war going on as long as possible.

I don't know why people vote against their interests, but it's fascinating to see.
