Really wasn’t thinking of the candidate, per se, as much as how to get the message about conservative values into people’s heads.
We need to pick candidates who match the values.
We need to pack the message in ways that compete through all the noise and soundbytes and sink into the guts of people...right now a lot of folks have a filter that tune out HOW we say it. They don’t even look. They don’t hear. They see: EVIL RIGHT and stop looking. That’s what we need to break through. It’s not content (substance), it’s technique, I suspect.
We’re being outcompeted in presentation.
Not at all!
Palin had no need for artificial presentation, neither do actual, honest, Conservatives....like Chuck Baldwin...who can articulate the values of Conservative politics.
It is when you get the Rudy's and Arnold's and McCain's out there who are by no means Conservative that you need to present them as something they aren't...just like Biden and Obama had to do.
The real heart of the matter is that a large part of the population doesn't understand Conservatism. Therefore it is afraid of Conservatism, or simply rejects Conservatism no matter how you present or package it.
