Great post. Obama was elected soley on his image and his marketing. His greatest asset is that the majority of the people who supported him have no idea what he really stands for and they have no interest in finding our or staying informed. The Republicans need to find similar candidates that are attractive and articulate. It is sad to say, but elections are not won on convictions alone. Just think of all the 14 year olds today being bombarded by all the "marketing of Obama"...mainly compliments of the media. When the next presidential election is here, guess who all the first time voters are going to support? They will throw their support behind Obama...not on the issues, but on the fact that it is the cool thing to do.
