He takes the experience as a sign of the apocalypse—and a sign that Obama's going to win. Reagan Dems and Independents. Call them blue-collar plus. Slightly more Target than Walmart. Yes, the spot worked. Yes, they believed the charges against Obama. Yes, they actually think he's too liberal, consorts with bad people and WON'T BE A GOOD PRESIDENT...but they STILL don't give a f***. They said right out, "He won't do anything better than McCain" but they're...

1. This nation is more conservative than urban hipsters seem to be aware of.

2. when northern urban liberal Ds run and don't connect on economic things, these conservative swing voters go with teh cultural issues and the he's not like me thinking and vote R.

3. QED for D to win has to connect on economics.

4. Obama doing it well, with a big booster rocket of this meltdown. And the anger.

5. Sure glad he's fighting for the middle class now like a Clinton.

That's the only way to stop the GOP smear machine whihc runs the same plays every time.

So it's very very simple, really.

You're welcome.

Unity y'all--

Huh! There's someone with a history of picking winners. He probably ranks Martin Truex #1 in NASCAR.
