I think this is the key statement. How does all this appear to joe
sixpack. None of this makes sense unless you see it how the politicians
see it. They have personal and ideological agendas to persue and a
tractable media to present the right spin. We, on the other hand, are
easily categorised as fringe dwellers and dismissed. Joe Sixpack believes
what he sees on the tv and that is what will be influencing his vote come
the next election.
In a world driven by advertising, appearance is everything. :)
