We're on the same page as usual. My problem is the undecided voters who are impressed with the "smoothies". Geeze, clinton talked about his underwear on MTV and all was good. I have lost so much faith in the American populace to look past sound bites. Please, a huge part of the American TV audience think these "reality" shows are truly REAL!
We are a nation of naive idiots who will buy into anything that is slickly produced, wheather TV, movies, music, or even politics.
The point being, sound bites in politics with the right tone and visual mannerisms sells. Forget substance...it's all about sales. Bush does not sell as well as Kerry. Although, I think Bush will win because of numerous negatives against Kerry.
Even so, if sound bites sell, Bush had them. Kerry's answers were long and involved and will not be easily repeatable or memorable -- except maybe the "global test" thing that Bush nailed him on. Bush was "on message." He'll be remembered and repeated.
Why do you think Joe Lockhart called it a draw? Just curious...
