"Most voters are blessedly immune to dumb arguments even when they are well-funded."

Wish I could agree with this. At least the "most" part. However, this is a society where whoever has the most yard signs wins.

Yes, unfortunately, we live in a society where the great majority of people are clueless when it comes to politics. Fortunately, there is a trend in the opposite direction, as recent research has suggested.

We all have computers (by definition). Most of us have printers, or access to local print shops that will print yard signs for us from disk. We also (by definition) have access to the HUGE talents here at FR. Remember SORE LOSERMAN?

We don't need gigabucks to pay for "operatives." We ARE the people. I don't know about you but I'm going to be printing up and distributing my own "yard signs" and other such material from now until election day. I'll look for much of the best stuff here. I'm sure folks will be posting for all to share.

Do we believe?

That's why the Dems went through one night prior to the 2000 elections and pulled up all the Bush yard signs in my town.

So even if they don't actually have all the yard signs, they'll do anything to make it look that way - no matter how underhanded and criminal it may be. And having Soros' billions behind them will make them extremely bold.

Remember the Perot Administration...neither do I. Money isn't everything.
