(20,453 posts)In a world where the first presidential debate "swings" these numbers, it tells me a different story. And this is even with Jennifer Granholm echoing the fear in "The War Room" tonight.
It seemed like only a few weeks ago as we approached the "debates", such as they are, that they were to have had a weak influence. But, what I'm seeing here is a different strategy in the world of Rovian and Koch Brothers advertising, Inc. All of a sudden, it's mattering an awful lot. Why?
"Kick ass" in the economy and deficit? What constitutes understanding the subject matter or calling out a liar? If it means that Obama stops looking down at the notes he writes at the podium, and begins to heat up to meet the utter ignorance and rich boy robot rants and outright lies with a one-two punch during the next debate, how much of a swing is THAT supposed to produce?
If women are evenly divided after this, then they are way more stupid than I see them. I'm one, so I can be as critical as I damn well want about our gender. I personally don't think we are that fucking stupid.
I'm not likely to froth up, but boy, is the advertising making everyone run for cover now. Whew!
