Your fundamental error here Timeout is perspective. You look at the world and say "this is how I think therefore everyone thinks this way" Thus you look at this an assume that because favor calm reasoned rational discourse, it will appeal to everyone. NO, it does not. McCain's defeat should prove that too you.

Passion attracts attention of the uninvolved and the uninformed. Once you got their attention, then they start listening to your message. Obama won on that.

He grabbed their attention with passion and glitz and glamor then he sold them a fraudulent message about how he was not a rabid Lefty but just a normal guy like them. How he was going to protect them from all the trouble those boning old white guys, McCain and Bush were doing to them.

McCain responded with your notions about calm reasoned debate and steering away from any sort of combativeness or passion. He got his butt handed him for it.

Your theory is a prove failure. It doesn't work in this media age.

I’m tired of talking to you. If you review our conversation I’ve stuck to theory and persuasion without characterizing you as naive, inane, or unintelligent.

The funny thing is, in your last post you said “Once you got their attention, then they start listening to your message.”.

In essence, that’s what I’ve been saying all day.

Bye.
