I thought it was P T Barnum who said that.

Yeah, there's no shortage of proof of that (...LOL)! Although basically, I just think that the Dems, perhaps enabled by Obama's more "cerebral" approach, often live in a media arena thats sometimes too-dominated by the high-end and inside-the-beltway point of view.

At a minimum, theres gotta be something wrong, when Democrats, historically the party of the working man, continue to cede ground on that perception, to folks like Romney and the wealthy GOP fer crissakes.... so perhaps who and how we choose to communicate has something to do with it! And BTW, just dismissing 'em as stupid is not a useful approach.
