We live in an era, Neal, where people can tell you who won American Idol but have no idea who their State representatives are. These people serve on jurys and get to vote. Sad but true.

Obama was smart enough to tap into the way that young Americans communicate and learn. It's not by watching CNN or Fox News, or God forbid by reading newspapers....its by Blogging, Texting, E-mailing, IMing etc.

Once you understand and tap into that mind set, and then you're also smart enough to offer the middle class voters a scenario where they can always look to Government to solve their problems in life with Grants, Loans, Mortgages etc, you create an environment where it will be very difficult for any Republican to get elected President over the next 20 years.

I think the Obama strategy is brilliant. You tap into and motivate the youth of the Country like no other politician ever has, and then you give their parents the drug of never having to look out for themselves because there's always some Government Department there to help them.

The best play on human nature I've ever seen...and it'll work too.
