Great debating point! Wish I'd thought of it.
What I was trying to say with that joke was that most people just look to the media to tell them who to vote for or who is an "electable" candidate. I think that's really herd-like and I don't really give a damn what the media says. I don't follow their authority. To hell with news announcers telling me who's a good candidate. I think all this Rudi-loving is really herd-like. Too bad you didn't get it.
