There actually are several ways to look at it, and they aren’t mutually exclusive when you stop to ponder them:
1- better “branding.” Obama was marketed like a soft drink.
2- more money. I’ve seen sources claiming he raised nearly a billion dollars. While Cap’n Queeg hobbled himself. ( My moratorium on calling the little SOB that is suspended for the duration, or we turn into Venezuela- whichever comes first ... )
3- Ophra-ized voters. Yes, we have become American Idol and Survivor! as a nation. With the worst features of both shows. Yes, the TV and the schools are responsible— but we let it happen, didn’t we?
