The Obama wow factor was a one trick pony. They have to be nuts to expect that sort of enthusiasm for Obama the second time around when his own best fans have been falling away at a rate of 10% or better.
The only Obama mural I’ve seen this year is an update on a 2008 HOPE mural that was kept up all 4 years.
No wheatpasted pop-art posters. No hipster t-shirts at the clothing stores.
The 2008 voters have grown older, if not always wiser.
