Just weird.
Hard to blame him when you look back on and remember, remember the 6th of November.
I can get depressed over what Obama is doing to the country, but not so much the electoral politics that got him elected. The most charismatic candidate has always won the presidential election in my lifetime. The Republicans made the mistake of nominating the wrong candidate. Nothing any political consultant or slogan writer could say or do could make Romney into something he is not. You can’t put ketchup on a turd and make a meal out of it.
I never cared much for Luntz or his worthless focus group segments.
“’The old Frank Luntz was sure he could invent slogans to sell the righteous conservative path of personal responsibility and free markets to anyone ... The new Frank Luntz fears that is no longer the case, and it’s driving him crazy.’
“Against folly, the Gods themselves contend in vain.”-—Wm. Shakespeare
Wait... Luntz says he is a conservative ... and he wants to work in... Hollyweird??
That makes no sense.
I thought his focus groups were great. That being said Luntz’s problem is that he always drew the wrong conclusion from them. IMHO
Geez, Buck up Frank.
Going to the dark side...maybe his wig’s too tight or the fumes from the glue have gotten to him.
Luntz, for conservatives is a cognitive linguist like Lakoff for the left. It’s hard to admit you’re losing the battle.
REad this book review carefully and note the never changing pattern.
The Disuniting of America, by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.

To warn against the dissolution of our common national ideals and our common culture holds little threat for people who claim, however speciously, that they never shared those ideals and were never part of that culture.
One of the most pernicious effects of multiculturalism has been to destroy the linguistic ground necessary to debate it. For such a debate would have to invoke terms like “we” and “commonality.” Yet multiculturalists, aided by the sophisticated deconstructive efforts of literary theorists like Stanley Fish and Barbara Herrnstein Smith, reject any such appeal to an American “we” as an act of imperialist violence. The only language that remains is that of an increasingly narrow “us” versus an increasingly alien “them.” This is the language of civil war.
It’s depressing to know your lifes work is meaningless.. worthless..
Unless you don’t really care anyway...
Depressed for 3 weeks? I was in shock for 2 weeks and then gave up on the salvation of our country by our “elected” leaders after that. And I’m just a regular schmoe.
Luntz should take a number...
He wasn't the only one depressed after seeing another election stolen for the democrats by the media and corrupt democrat support groups.
The entire campaign season was depressing. It had looked so very promising in 2010, with all the things like the tea-party emergence, the town-hall protests, the big crowds at Palin’s book tour, etc. But, after the 2010 mid-terms, the GOP-E muscled in, poured cold water on all that kinetic grassroots energy, and did everything it could to pave the way for the Massachusetts liberal, Mitt Romney.
Made the whole 2011-12 campaign season depressing as hell. I loathed every minute of it. The clincher being when the GOP convention outlawed the very words “tea party” from being uttered, and basically told Palin to get lost. Add Romney’s pathetic and cowardly response to a reporter upon being questioned about the Chick-Fil-A protest. Add the neverending presence of Karl Rove babbling on FoxNews.
All in all, it made me pretty much tune out politics for the first time in my adult life. And led me to leave my presidential ballot blank for the first time ever. And left me with an intense distrust for the one and only Party I ever voted for and supported for all my life. A Party that begins with the letter “R.”
I was depressed too. But that was because the re-election of a Marxist Clown was so unexpected. It shocked everybody but he probably stole it. That shouldn’t have surprised anybody.
If the Hollywood thing doesn’t pan out then Luntz
should consider teaming up with Morris to start
an earthquake prediction business.
“Now, the profile of Luntz in The Atlantic says that Luntz sunk into a depression following the 2012 election after Obama won.”
Welcime to the club Frank.
His 15 minutes were over years ago.
