@ morfin
and who told you to vote for Obama on Nov "7"...sounds suspicious at Tuesday is Nov 6.
Those republican operatives, they always were pretty lousy at real math, and now there they go again..
I can agree. We moved to Springfield,MO 4 years ago from NYC. I would get flyers from Republicans and SuperPACs. Now I rarely get such materials, perhaps its from my habits as I live in a VERY conservative area. I voted for Obama and will do so on NOV. 7.
The modern science of selling doesn't explain how inconsistent positions throughout a campaign are viable in this campaign. It appears that what matters is not what a candidate's positions or values are but what they can believably sell regardless of what their previous positions and postures have been.
