One look and most of us knew he was a phony pony.
Maybe to Conservatives. But, remember that Liberals (being completely unschooled and emotional) place tremendous importance on ‘appearances’.
They LIKED him!
Actually, that is a lot of why they liked “O”. HE had the generic ‘minority’, pre-packaged look of an item stamped out in the thousands by a machine.
Seamless, smooth and slick as guy in a white bread ad... Edwards was their Ra Ra Bula Bula, American … AND “O” was their anti-septic and non-specific, bloodless, soulless, culturally mute, minority candidate decoy duck.
When you dummy down education to the extent that we have in America, you can’t expect ANY discernment from voters.
