You will object that that doesn't persuade "the middle". But in fact it puts the liberal on the defensive when your book outsells Hillary's. And getting the liberals on their heels and the conservatives on their toes is plenty good.

Most of the people that need convincing arent watching the political shows and they dont read. They are certainly not going to buy a political book although some of the weirder guys might gawk at the cover of her book. I think you put too much emphasis on getting the liberals on their heels because no one is going to notice.

What's the point of trying to convince someone who isn't watching?

Winning a political argument doesn't mean getting everyone in the country to agree with you, it means getting enough of them to agree that the rest acquiesce. "The people that need convincing" aren't reading on this forum, either--why do you bother posting?
