Why has style trumped substance, truth, consistency?

Rationally it doesn't make sense until you factor in that Obama isn't widely liked. I think for some, it is the color of his skin and I suspect this is a reason for the rise of the Tea Party. For others, it is what is perceived as intellectual elitism.

I think once Romney was seen as a regular guy and not some conservative radical a lot of people felt more comfortable supporting him.

If this is true, and Obama doesn't have a firm hold on 50.1% of the vote, then he doesn't have to just outperform Romney he has to hope for a Romney implosion.

tkc, as in other matters ... e.g WAVX fiscal responsibility and accountability, you are in the minority ... look no further than WAVXDD to understand a Romney Victory.

Just as Fox news seeks t ban with abandon, the label of "scoailist" "marxist" or whatever, the same cluster-f phenom directs the thinking at WAVXDD (and elsewhere).

The kind of plain speak, simple math, if you don't have an abacus I will loan you my fish rack sort of reasoning works for some, but for most it does not.

The question is, it seems, and it seems so unequivocally, what shall the white suburban women do.

Fancy that. Team Obama may carry this thing, only because they succeed there.

On this, listen to clo (not to say that clo is white, suburban, although clearly represents as being woman).

I am familair with (that is I am exposed to) white suburban women, and they, from what I see, lean hard towards Obama ... so he might win.

But those I see, tolerate me, and that is not something one could ever pretend to be electorally representative.

I saw a play back in 1980 or so, some sort of Reagan spoof thing, it was a musical, and the song I remember was "we're not ready" a really extreme satire that resulted in a hapless white suburban mom draped rather submissively around the ankles of a progenitor of the modern neocon, as they sang in alternation "I'm not ready" and "Your not ready" (I leave you to decide where the y chromo was in all that).

America had the Bradley effect, I believe it now has the "I AM ready effect" ... and absent that Obama is a loser.

It is going to be dicey.
