Democrats conceding election?

[conus]

That's what it seems like. This nice guy, high road, turn-the-other-cheek strategy is obviously not working. In the Gallup poll, for the first time since 1972, a party lost ground immediately following their convention. What are they thinking? Do the Democrats really believe that the average American citizen is capable of critical thought? Did they learn nothing from P.T. Barnum, the telemarketing industry and infomercials? Sound bites and negativity really do work. I once had a Lab/Golden Retriever who made more calculated decisions than the average American. Despite Kerry's claim to the contrary during his speech, repetition really does make a lie the truth. And they wouldn't even have to lie. There are so many areas in which to attack Bush's character-- crooked business dealings throughout his life, alcoholism, hard drug abuse, spousal abuse, a brother who wasn't even prosecuted at a time when loan officers across America were going to prison for lesser crimes. I guess it just depends of how much you really want it.
