An admission I fear many here need to make.
It's amusing how loudly and frequently we condemn the media for pushing prevailing wisdom and "truth" that they just kind of hear about in the press room, and yet we have people strutting around here in type as if they just know Fred is done, it's all over but the cryin, etc...thus doing precisely what the hated media WANT them to do, which is invest the media with incredible powers of persuasion by directing the national debate.
For those condemning Fred's strategy, I'd love to read their reasoning for why the winning strategy worked. Of course, you'll have to tell us who the winner is going to be, AND explain that winning strategy now. But you folks seem to think you have all the answers, so let's have 'em.
BTW, 2ndDV, if you have a ping list put me on it. I find you post 90% of the interesting stuff around here these days.
please, for God's sake, tell me what the strategy is?
Done!
