Actually - most of it is that simple. I remember going on a business trip right before the last presidential election (it was to the Devcon in Washinton DC). Anyway, this cab driver starts talking politics with me. This guy was an "average Joe" kind of guy - down to earth, blue collar. He asked me who I was going to vote for in the election and, after I told him, he disagreed and told me he was voting for Bush. When I asked him why he gave me the tax cut rhetoric word for word. Stuff about the government giving him back his money. I tried to explain to him that it was a fiscally irresponsible plan but he was hooked. I think his opinion (wrong as I think it was) was a big factor in the election. Too many people see the short term gain and don't look at what's best for the country in the long run. It worked then and it worked this year.
