As a thirteen year old I was riveted to the tube during the Gore/ Buckley scream fest of the '68 conventions. I think that's set a bad precedent for political commentary.Kirk McCoynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401584991689197404.post-33913846311274348302012-09-19T14:31:09.400-07:002012-09-19T14:31:09.400-07:00Good point.

Jonathan Bernstein (where I normally comment) has stressed a lot that really only conservatives can fix conservatism and only people in the GOP can fix the GOP. Liberals can help a little, by kicking their butts in elections, but we can't make Eric Ericson see that a campaign strategy based on telling 47% of the electorate to go screw themselves is not a very good idea.

But you are right that the media's decision to turn on mitt is for all the wrong reasons. longwalkdownlyndalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13173899547449318257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401584991689197404.post-71506675314799672482012-09-18T12:59:26.625-07:002012-09-18T12:59:26.625-07:00Okay, but you also realize that he deserves to los...Okay, but you also realize that he deserves to lose on the merits, right? Even if his campaign were better run and he himself could talk in a manner remotely befitting a human being with, like, empathy and such, his policies are still bad. Given that it's all hand-waving and visuals anyway, I don't mind that he loses on his bad visuals instead of his bad policies.Ursulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054776892578355166noreply@blogger.com
