I would like to apply your excellent observation in a different fashion. Because of the truth in what you said I think you have also revealed why Democrats and their consultants and pollsters have hurt themselves. They are shallow, based on the right-now public attitudes, with no central moral values with which to relate their "message", which is usually anti-opponent rather than a true message. That worked brilliantly under Slick and gang but now that there is someone of substance to which they can be compared, their shallowness because pathetically obvious. As a result, they are seen for what they are and are not believed. To that I say, "More, more, more!"
