I have no doubt that politicians can win elections by playing on ignorance. It happens all the time, and not with just one party. This should not be considered a good thing.
Me, I'm concerned about real solutions, which is why I talk about real issues. If the Democratic goal is simply power at any price, I can see why my take on issues isn't going anywhere. You can practically hear in in Washington and the mansions of the politically-influential: "If we're running the joint, who cares if the peons have electricity, gasoline, or jobs? It's not like my limo or charter jet will ever be a gallon short."
Obama thinks he can push "changiness" into November. Maybe he can, but information isn't as tightly funneled as it was twenty years ago. We'll see.
As for the rest, you can squirt the squid ink with the best of them, but you couldn't go "over my head" with a JATO unit strapped to each hip.
