| Description | I've been in campaign meetings. Sometimes the atmosphere is grim. Your side is down, and you're looking to turn things around.
The pollster goes down the list of issues tested. Health care? Nope. They hate your stand on that. The economy? Thumbs down. Foreign policy? Nobody cares anymore.
Then, finally, something that works. An assistant at the polling shop throws in a question about campaign contributions by foreigners. Turns out most voters don't like them. They don't think it's an important issue, but, hey, nothing else works. So let's go with it.
This or something like it seems to have taken place at Team Obama Central sometime in the past few weeks. |
