A-hyuk.

what were bill clinton's themes? change & hope.

generic, but effective, simple, and consistent. they set the frame & stuck to it. mccain's never had a theme except fear, and that doesn't really work when you say it out loud.

Most of my friends that support Obama couldn't name one vote that Obama has ever cast or one position of his that he has ever defended. They have no idea what policies he will push forward in his administration, either.

Kinda scary how well Axelrod's strategy worked.

Sarah Palin couldn't name one Supreme Court ruling she disagreed with or one newspaper or magazine she reads. "Kinda scary", indeed.
