If they want Obama, yes. Actually, I have a friend who's a socialist, and she's like "Democrats need to just say their socialist. let's not pretend, they want socialism...."

No. The majority of Americans don't want socialism, but they do want better health care and better use of tax dollars. Some outsiders interpret this as socialism but we're really very far away from that. It depends who you ask, though. People on the extreme right would say we're on the verge of socialism right now. People on the extreme left would say we're nowhere close and have a long, hard way to get there. In truth, it's somewhere in the middle, but likely closer to the left's stance. I say this because socialism in its purest form is pretty involved, and to drop everything and adopt a very radical way of life just isn't on the horizon. Better health care, and better use of our tax dollars is not the same thing.

If they elect Obama. He wants to "spread the wealth around" and implement a socialist healthcare system.

I think on the surface most would say no, but then if you tell them we are going to eliminate social security and medicare/medicaid, many would freak out. I don't think they know that they are socialist programs.

Most people don't even know what socialism is. America has had a form of socialism since the Great Depression. Welfare, Medicare and social security can be all be considered socialist ideas. It is a social safety net. Call it socialism if you will. Not to mention free clinics, libraries, and soup kitchens. These are not classical capitalist tenets.
