In Stage Three Death Rattle, the candidates negativity toward his opponent permeates his speeches and completely overtakes his vision and messaging. His speeches grow shrill and his campaign staff and volunteers become demoralized. At this point, Santorum withdrew. Obama isnt here yet, but hes perilously close. New York Times columnist Ross Douthat recently wrote of an aura of defeat beginning to take hold within Team Obama. Maybe. But by any reasonable measure, the race remains very close.
Sounds to me like 0 has hit Stage 3.
You mean like when Obama used the word "revenge" the other day?
