40. Don't take that one for granted. The MESSAGING needs to improve on our side. HUGELY.

There's too much pushback against us. Too many tidal waves of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hate radio stations and programs. Remember when we had the anemic Air America against the colossus of rush limbaugh? It was like an ant sent to fight against a stampeding herd of buffalo.

When republi-CONS fail, you can take it to the bank that they will NOT accept or concede ANY blame at all. Count on it. They'll blame it on President Obama, Hillary, the Democrats, the "libtards", ANYBODY but themselves and their bad ideas and their lousy "policies." And as long as they have messaging machinery that pushes messages like that, and we don't push back with everything we've got, and find new ways to push OUR messaging out, we'll have ripe bananas to fight with while the other side has rocks and boulders. And THEIR messaging will carry the day. Again.
