If he drives them to the polls and the marjoity don't vote for him, it would not be a good move for him overall. Unfortunately the uneducated tend to obviously be hard to predict. They vote with their gut, they vote with their neighbor, anything but really evaluating what issues the president stands for. I would certainly hope those who are low income would want to vote for Obama since he's got a proven track record (that they even made fun of) in helping the poor and underprivelaged. It wouldn't take much effort to do a poll in one of the swing states and sponsor free transportation to those who promise to vote obama though. Seems like some of the existing sites like RideSearch, erideshare, etc would sponsor something like this. It would garner lots of attention and hopefully a lot of site traffic as well.
