The 2010 election is more proof that this was about Obama as a personality, not about his policies. When Obama’s not on the ballot, his voters don’t turn out. It’s not committed liberals putting him over the top. It’s ignorant voters who can decide in one night whether they prefer conservatism or liberalism based on which candidate wins a debate or gives a good speech.
Obama won because ever since JFK, they want a cool celebrity in the White House, who is loved by Hollywood.
Might as well move the White House to Hollywood.
