I believe that most people hold a flawed view of "Reason".  Basically we feel like if everyone had the exact same facts and used their reason they would all come to the same conclusion.  This is clearly false, especially when the decision is as highly value laden as who to vote for.  In the end I would argue that it is reason combined with values and "emotion" (whatever the hell that is) that lead to decisions.
