I watched Hannity last night and the speeches at the Al Smith Dinner. Obama went on to praise Romney (to praise himself) for being a family man and father, titles higher than any political office. Why say that? Now I know, he's trying to shore up his Black voting base, reminding them he's not a 'punk*ss, cake boy' (as reported in HillBuzz).
Now, this all is going to come as a shock to Michelle. I'd like to be a fly on the wall, when the penny drops for Michelle. Mount St. Helens will be put to shame. She won't like being classified by the wrong Rev. Wright as a women 'no straight man would marry'. Woo boy, stand back, waaaaay back!
I just read that Hillbuzz piece. You are right. It is utterly brutal.
It is anecdotal evidence. But ....it is still very very powerful. It’s easy to say “the plural of anecdote is not data”. And that always seems to be a bubble bursting touchee. But if you think about it, it really isn’t. Of course anecdotes are data. The point is you just have to know which of them are merely anecdotal, and which are evidence of a larger trend. Therein lies the art.
And this particular anecdote rings true. You are so right. The dam is bursting.
