I’d be preaching to that thirty percent who can be swayed by a well-thought out argument

I'm not being mean here; that is not my intent. Sometimes what we write carries more "mean-ness" than the writer intended, so....I'll apologize in advance. But I must ask.

To what "thirty percent" are you refering; and "thirty percent" of what?

This country's electorate is set...and given the stain's ruination of the office of president...completely and unalterably divided.

Are there remaining voters in this land who truly and honestly have not made up their mind as to whether or not they will permit the stain to be president one more day than is dicated by our laws, or conversely, will absolutely vote for the stain come what may?

If the financial and social train wreck of the last three years is not arguement enough, no words or "madison avenue hype" is going to matter at all. It certainly isnt' going to "convince" anyone to change their vote. This election is actually already over. We've only to go through the formality of the voting booth.

My mind has been made up for the last three years and nothing short of my death will cause me not to vote AGAINST the stain next year. Would that I could vote FOR someone, but that isn't going to happen this time around. So...I'll proudly vote AGAINST the stain who in three years did what two world wars and countless other attacks on this land failed to do....ruin it.

Welll .... IMHO anyway.

Sorry, one third of all prospective voters are not set. That's the third both parties fight over. If either side can get a substantial percentage of that non-aligned third, they win most of the elections.

In 2008, six weeks before the election, McCain-Palin had a five percent lead over Obama-Biden in a number of polls. One week after the ensuing financial disaster, McCain-Palin was behind by five percentage points. And it stayed that way up to the election. The media had convinced many non-aligned voters that the Wall Street "banksters" and Republicans were responsible. Now we have to convince a sizable percentage of that non-aligned third that Obama is responsible for the economic disaster of the past three years.
